Ryan Curtis Injury

Ryan Curtis, a dedicated MMA fighter training since the age of 11, endured a life-altering incident during a training session on January 11th. The accident resulted in a broken back, broken neck, dislocated spine, and severe spinal cord damage, leading to an emergency surgery at the Royal in Belfast. Currently, Ryan faces a daunting challenge ahead with no movement in his legs or left arm, necessitating a prolonged hospital stay followed by specialized spinal treatment.

A father to 2-year-old Kassia and partner to Emma, Ryan’s positive outlook and resilience in the face of adversity have been a source of inspiration to many. “Ryan has been through some of the most horrific circumstances always coming out a better human, man, and friend,” shared a close source. Despite the limited visitations in the ICU, Ryan’s indomitable spirit remains evident as he prepares to confront yet another life hurdle.
