Report: Drew McFedries, Tim Sylvia Infected with Staph Infections
Posted by UFC Junkie on August 7, 2007 at 2:12 pm ET

Spencer Fisher apparently isn’t the only Miletich Fighting Systems fighter struck by a staph infection.

Teammates Drew McFedries and Tim Sylvia have also been infected, and McFedries still remains hospitalized, according to The Fight Network’s Brian Knapp.

According to the report:

According to Fisher, at least two other MFS fighters — heavy-handed middleweight Drew McFedries and former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia — have also been infected. McFedries remains in the hospital and has had a [sizable] piece of his leg removed, according to Fisher. His rumored October bout with Marvin Eastman at UFC 77 also appears in jeopardy.

All three fighters train at MFS in Bettendorf, Iowa.

they need to better in making sure all the equipment and training centers are sanitized.

I thought they said you could only get it from human-to-human contact?

i've heard that as well, but some people who are more knowledgeable on the topic have told me that it can happen from not properly cleaning training mats and things like that.

I think it is from dirty mats.
I wouldn't think this was possible at a gym like MFS. Good thing it wasn't Hughes right before the title fight.

apparently Diego Sanchez has left Greg Jackson's camp: http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...4480&zoneid=13

Diego Sanchez has officially left Team Jackson and moved to California to be closer to his son according to former trainer Greg Jackson, who commented during an appearance on MMAWeekly Radio on Wednesday night.

“Diego has moved to California to reconnect with his son out there,” said Jackson. “He’s always a part of the team, but he’s going to train out there for a while. We love him to death, he still loves us; it’s just kind of a thing where he wants to get out there and get to know his boy and live a good life. He’s such a great kid and we all love him to death, the whole team, and we wish him the best of luck while he’s out there and can’t wait for him to get back.”

damn, Greg Jackson's team been on some hard times lately.

"had a spark when they started, but now they just garbage"

I don't really like Sanchez anyway. Especially after acting like an ass at the Koscheck weigh-in then losing the match by decision.

Maybe smoking weed is a bad idea if you're into combat sports?

True, must've been an accident though.

"McFedries remains in the hospital and has had a [sizable] piece of his leg removed" I wanna see a pic of that. Damn and he was coming up too. Yeah dirty mats will mess you up. Miletich cant afford people to clean mats or is he trying to keep it old school?

i'm still hopin for an eventual match-up between McFredries and Terry Martin

that match would be all bombs, ending with someone getting brutally KO'd

You're going to have to wait a very long time to see Drew fight again:
http://ufcjunkie.com/2007/08/14/repo...-eight-months/
Miletich Fighting Systems’ Drew McFedries will be out of action for six to eight months following a nasty staph infection that’s wreaked havoc on one of his legs.

It says the infection grew to the size of a football.

MMA sucks. WHo wants to see guys laying on top of each other for 80% of every round. I'd rather watch boxing or streetfighting. At least these guys have to attack.

you obviously don't watch much if you think they are on the ground 80% of every round

at least watch the product before you make dumbass statements.
