I think he will comeback but not within six months. I hope though it is only for one fight to go out in a victory.
lazy ass heavyweights dont want to fight when they arent injured much less are.......... briggs? ibragimov? Lyakhovich? tua? a ton of other ones averaging 1 fight a year.... it will be 10 months b4 golota gets back in the ring
FWIW I had the same injury (my arm looked very much like that-like someone had taken a very hot iron to my arm with no regard to my feelings!) about 4 years ago. It took me a little over 3 months with very little rehab-the doctor told me time was the best healer of these injuries and unless you are a professional athelete or it affects your livelihood, just let it heal on it's own slowly. The pain and scale of damage of joint injuries can vary greatly from what I learned.
As I think they've mentioned regarding Golota...something about it taking anywhere from a few weeks to 6 months. Next few weeks will be the decider, see how it goes. Looked pretty bad though.
