“Thank you to the UFC and Power Slap family for the incredible love and support you’ve shown Jake during this difficult time.

Jake is currently recovering from an emergency eye surgery. We’re taking things one day at a time and keeping the details private, but your kindness, support, and genuine concern have meant more than you know.

Thank you for being there for Jake. We’re so grateful to be part of a community that shows up when it matters most.”
