Marcus Aurelio says a daily regimen of physical therapy and diet changes have alleviated the effects of an elbow injury that forced his exit from the “Shine Fights: Lightweight Grand Prix” event earlier this month.
After three weeks of constant care, he’s now fight-ready and will take
on DREAM lightweight champ Shinya Aoki in a non-title fight at
DREAM.16.
However, Shine Fights COO Jason Chambers said the organization still is waiting on documentation of the injury and
will decide Tuesday whether to give Aurelio the green light for the Sept. 25 fight.
