Powerhouse Hobbs Says Patella Injury Was Supposed To Take 8 To 12 Months To Heal

Powerhouse Hobbs returned to the ring in a freakish amount of time.

In April 2024, Hobbs suffered a ruptured patella tendon during his match with Jon Moxley, taking him out of action until November that year.

As it turns out, Hobbs was supposed to be out of action for eight to twelve months. The 34-year-old revealed the details in a recent interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp.

“That’s me. What you see in the ring every week, that’s me to a large extension. Being down for six months with rupture patella, which was supposed to take eight to twelve months to heal. I’m a freak and a different beast. I’m from the Bay. I knew once I came back that I had to amp things up and be different.”

Hobbs was then asked to talk about how the doctors felt about him being ahead of schedule.

“True story, you can ask our doctor Michael Sampson. When I first went to my second follow up after surgery, the doctor was like, ’You’re not supposed to be standing or doing any of this. I had a gaol set in mind and I knew I was going to have surgery. I’m a little different. I’ve overcame a lot in my life and this was nothing different.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Hobbs bragged about his current physical and mental state. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
