Pat Downey Tears MCL
Pat Downey posted on Instagram that he sustained a torn MCL from a heel hook at a BJJ tourney. Despite the injury, Downey was in positive spirits.
“I guess @gordonlovesjiujitsu was right & leg locks do work. Can’t spell TAP without PAT 🤪 I’ll be back ASAP‼️ No more black belt absolute divisions for a while. Tough day in the office showed I still have a lot to improve 🦿.”- Pat Downey

Despite the loss, Pat Downey has nothing to be ashamed of. Injuries happen in the sport and it just shows he has a lot to work on.
We hope Pat heals up and gets to compete again in the next CJI event in August.
