My name is Justin Watson. On December 6, 2025, I broke a world record for the fastest knockout in combat sports history with the 2nd largest promotion in the world. My plan was to get back into training full-time after the holidays and keep the momentum going. I finally broke through. Three weeks later, on December 29, on my way home from Tennessee after Christmas, I came to a stop in traffic on the interstate. A truck didn't see the change in traffic and smashed through me and 2 other cars. I was driving a small car and was knocked around like a ping pong ball between the Bronco behind me, the truck in front of me, and the Freightliner beside me. Getting thrown around, holding the steering wheel, caused me to tear both rotator cuffs and my left labrum. As well as tearing cartilage in my left wrist, I also got bulging discs and a herniated disc in my neck. I'm still waiting on a settlement from the insurance company, but it looks like I'll be lucky to pay off the MRIs. Even if I could afford the surgeries, I've been out for 6 months already. It would be another year and a half before I could possibly come back. I have found a company that is going to work with me and do stem cell therapy on each injury. Recovery time is 6-8 weeks and I can get back in the ring and finish what I started. This option is also significantly cheaper than surgery and they are doing it for half price. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work a real job in 6 months. I've been driving for DoorDash to try to make ends meet. I had hoped to get a few good business sponsorships to take care of it, but I haven't had any success. The last thing I want to do is to ask people for money; at least with a business, they are paying for the advertisement. It's good for everyone. I'm out of options though. DO NOT!! I REPEAT... DO NOT DONATE UNLESS YOU WON'T NOTICE THE MONEY MISSING. Everything helps, but DO NOT go without in order to contribute. I appreciate all the love and support. I'm far from done, but I have to get healed up to compete at this level. If you know anyone who would like to help, please send them this directly. I would rather not share it directly to social media.
