@Crifstar Received a message from one of his mat mates just today.

"We had dinner with my friend who injured his knee Tuesday following the exam. He told us he had torn both his lateral ligaments (on each side of the right knee), and that doctors were waiting a few weeks for the swelling to diminish before reassessing; he's probably going to get surgery. He's a tough one, I expect to see him back on the mat within 3 months for sure.

Does anyone know if that guy is ok?
