UFC 110: James Te Huna: "Don't worry about my shoulder."

Gritty Kiwi James Te Huna (11-4), who’ll debut at UFC 110 in Sydney February 20, told Fighters.com that his previous struggles with multiple shoulder dislocations are over.

“I had my first dislocation in my very first MMA bout,” Te Huna told Fighters.com.  “For five years I copped numerous dislocations in training and fights. I managed to get through it all, but it got to a point where my training would suffer as well as my fights.  So, I had one of the best shoulder surgeons in Oz fix it up after the [Hector Lombard] fight.  Best thing I’ve done, and have had six straight wins with five of those by TKO.”

Te Huna is rumored to face Team Cro Cop light heavyweight Igor Pokrajac (14-6) at UFC 110.  Pokrajac lost a  three-round unanimous decision to “Janitor” Vladimir Matyushenko (23-4) at UFC 103 in Dallas September 19.
