Modern Warfare 2: Just what the doctor ordered

Jamie Varner suffered quite a few injuries in his last fight back in January 25th last year. To help him recover, his doctor put him on gaming therapy until his fractured bones heal up. Now that he’s back up and ready to get it on again, the 155-pound champ thanks Modern Warfare 2 for helping him recover.

Jamie Varner suffered quite a few injuries in his last fight back in January 25th last year. To help him recover, his doctor put him on gaming therapy until his fractured bones heal up. Now that he’s back up and ready to get it on again, the 155-pound champ thanks Modern Warfare 2 for helping him recover.

“He told me to stay playing video games because that would strengthen everything up,” he told a media conference call about his doctor’s advice. His friend, fellow MMA fighter Ryan Bader, returned his Xbox 360 only a couple of months ago, just in time for him to pick up Modern Warfare 2. “So I’ve been on that non-stop pretty much.”

Thanks partially to his MW2 therapy, Varner is up and about and is now set to fight the interim 155-pound title holder, Smooth Henderson, this Sunday in Sacramento.
