UFC's newest signee, Claude Patrick, still has no clue as to who might have used a stun gun on him.
On July 2008, Patrick was injured after being victimized by the stun gun in a hotel room following a Freedom Fight event in Gatineau, Quebec.
"I do not remember anything about that," he said, "and it's very true. Some people just think I am trying to stop talking about it, but now, I have a slight memory loss, well, complete memory loss for two days from that whole thing.
"I woke up with no injuries. I just had a tube in my throat because I was in the hospital, and I was like, 'Oh, damn, well, what do I drink now?'"
Patrick went to the hotel room believing he would be thanking a television crew for granting them back stage passes to a fight. Once there, he was greeted by a stranger and used a stun gun on him from behind. Doctors placed him in a two-day medically induced coma.
"I think it was an induced coma so to speak because getting tasered messes up with your heart rhythm and all that stuff. I got ******** several times, I think they said. I got the medical reports, because I tried to figure out what happened, and it was in French in doctor's writing, chicken scratch. No chance you can ever decipher that. So I just kind of took it and ran with it."
The veteran MMA fighter from Canada just signed a multi-fight contract with the UFC but is still unsure where his first fight will debut.
A number of UFC fighters are seeing plenty of betting action at Sportsbook.com this week with upcoming events slated.
