It was February of last year when 37-year-old mixed martial artist (MMA) Sinead “KO” Kavanagh, a highly acclaimed featherweight, currently ranked number four in the world, felt her left knee go numb mid-fight.
As it happens, she was in the midst of battle with Leah “The Curse” McCourt, a famed rival, when she slipped, causing her body to collapse backwards, and her knee to take the fall.
