What happens to the woman who drops weights on quad muscles in viral TikTok video

MMA surgeon Dr. David Abbasi has given fans an explanation into what happened to the woman who dropped a barbell on her quad muscles.

A viral video has been doing the rounds on TikTok, which shows a woman at a gym preparing to lift weights. As she prepares to lift, her legs give out from under her and the bar crashes down onto her quad muscles, causing instantaneous swelling.

Viewers have tried to guess the extent of the damage, and Dr. Abbasi, who often tends to MMA fighters, has given his medical expertise on the injury. According to him, the instant swelling of the quad muscles indicates that the woman's quads were completely torn from the impact.

Former MMA fighter and referee react to Dana White's Power Slap League

Former MMA referee John McCarthy and former UFC fighter Josh Thomson have both reacted to Dana White's Power Slap League, which is currently airing on TBS.

During the latest episode of their podcast, WEIGHING IN, McCarthy and Thomson discussed the dangers of the sport, the health and safety measures Dana White was taking, and the controversial pay that the competitors are reportedly receiving.

'The Punk' criticized the contestants' pay and the safety measures of the sport:

"The UFC is following the pattern they said, they started, when they started the UFC. Same owners, same thing, this contract is exactly the same. Two and two is what these fighters... is what these slappers are making... [Contestants are not] able to defend [their] face. Without being able to defend your chin and you have a stick behind your back, you have to hold. And then the people [MMA officials] that are catching them as they fall, they're not even doing a very good job."

McCarthy, who has officiated some of the biggest fights in MMA, also questioned the Power Slap League's viewership and intended audience:

"I'm gonna say it the way I view it. And it look I think it's stupid first off. I think this is a fad. If you take a look at the numbers that were... on TBS following an AEW because what Dana White ended up doing with this you know... he did the same thing that The Ultimate Fighter followed RAW professional wrestling, because it brings a lot of numbers."
