Despite Javid Basharat’s relentless online attacks, Victor Henry shows class in new groin injury update

HVictor Henry is taking the high road following Javid Basharat's online attacks as he recently provided a positive update regarding the groin injury he sustained during their bout at UFC 294 this past weekend.

'La Mangosta' took to social media and provided a new update following the nasty injury he sustained following a kick to his groin only 15-seconds into the second round that resulted in him being unable to continue. He mentioned that the swelling he had in the area has gone down, but his walking will be briefly affected.

He wrote:

"A little update for you guys, doctors said no permanent damage to my pills but I'm gonna walk a little funny for a couple days. Swelling has gone down a significant amount after sleeping with ice on my smooth criminals which isn't very easy to do."

Despite the online attacks from Javid Basharat, it appears as though Victor Henry holds no grudge against him for the groin strike. He mentioned that he doesn't believe a disqualification is necessary because he didn't believe there was bad intentions behind the groin strike, writing:

"For those of you calling for a DQ don't be ridiculous. I don't think my opponent had ill intentions to kick my nuts, he threw a legal strike that just so happen to hit an illegal spot. Totally not his fault, but that's MMA."
