Jimmy Crute is not fighting in 2022.
Crute took to Instagram on Monday to announce that he needs knee reconstruction and will be out for the remainder of the year. The ‘Brute’ explained he accumulated a lot of damage to his knee in his most recent UFC fights and was worried it could be a potential career-ender if he did not get the surgery.
“Absolutely gutted to announce that I will be out for the rest of the year,” wrote Crute. “I need a knee [reconstruction]. I have been putting this off for years but I have sustained too much damage over the last few fights and it has finally come to the point that if I don’t get it fixed it could turn into a career ending injury.
