For UFC women’s 135-pound veteran Julie “Fireball” Kedzie , she’s been able to supplement her income with acting and stunt work.

While the procedure to fuse three discs together went off without a hitch, Rutten recently told MMAWeekly.com that he is still experiencing problems with weakness and muscle deformation. “I’ve been saying before the surgery that I thought it was my neck, but I also thought there was a blockage between my neck and my shoulder blade,” said Rutten. “They denied it, but if I do 50 push-ups, I will lose all my power 10 minutes later. In my eyes, there was inflammation, muscles blow up and stops the nerve.
