6) MMAjunkie.com posted a brief interview with Arroyo that seems to confirm a serious injury.
Now, there is good evidence either way that Arroyo was faking or he was really injured. Based on what we saw of his personality, he didn't seem like a quitter.
I think the most likely scenario was that the injury is serious. It was serious enough that he no longer felt capable of putting on a good performance against Mac, who he knew very well was the superior and more experienced fighter.

Granted....but do you think its fair that Joey gets shit on while he fought then left, but Matt was afraid to fight the guy Joey fought??
I personally dont understand the fear of fighting Mac. I def think Mac is better than me...he is more well-rounded but I would NOT be scared to fight him! I dont think he is a damaging 170lber! He wins by technique not strength! Id MUCH rather fight Mac than Tommy! Arroyo is a punk! And I really liked him up unitl last nights show!
