Dwight Joseph Bouncing Back from Severe Injury at LFA 25, the Biggest Stage of His Career

After being out several months due to injury, bantamweight up-and-comer Dwight Joseph was able to return to action in June and has since picked up two straight victories.

As Joseph puts it, the long process of recovery never got him down, as he always believed he’d be able to return and perform as he had prior to the injury.

“I injured my shoulder and had to get surgery to fix that shoulder and rehab and all of that, so overall I was sidelined for about nine months,” Joseph told MMAWeekly.com. “In March of this year, I was able to get back out to California and get back training. About a month and a half after that, I had my first fight.

“I never lost hope. Maybe I’m a positive, upbeat, person, but I didn’t think it was the end. When you suffer an injury like that, you wonder how strong it’s going to get and how you’re going to bounce back, but I always felt like I was going to go through the surgery, the rehab, and bounce right back.”
