JRE MMA Show #185 with Ethyn Ewing · Aired Sep 2, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Gregory Rodriguez suffered severe toe injuries after his fight against Fluffy.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Gregory Rodrigues dislocated his toe three weeks before his fight against Anthony Hernandez, during a sparring session in training camp, not after the fight. It was one dislocated toe rather than multiple severe toe injuries, and he fought through it to win by decision, so the claim gets the timing backwards.
