The whereabouts of UFC welterweight Claude Patrick have been a mystery since he withdrew from a schedule bout against James Head at UFC 149 in July 2012. Make no mistake about it, though: Patrick (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is still a member of the UFC roster, and the reasoning behind his disappearance isn’t due to retirement or personal issues. According to Patrick, who has not fought since a UFC 140 loss to Brian Ebersole in late 2011, the issue that has kept him out of the octagon for more than two years is nothing more than an injury. “I got hurt in training for my fight in Calgary at UFC 149,” Patrick told MMAjunkie. “I tore a ligament training for that fight, so I pulled out of it. I’ve been recovering here for a bit, and I’m just on the comeback trail now.” The 33-year-old was unwilling to disclose the exact nature of the injury, but it’s one he’s worked diligently to rehabilitate since undergoing surgery in December 2012
