Swing through 10th Planet Boulder whenever you're in town and we can get down. As far as Royler walking, that doesn't mean there wasn't damage done.
Alder Hampel blew out my ACL in his lockdown at 10th Planet Burbank 10 days before I fought Jorge Gurgel. I was walking, I ran to cut weight, and I put on a hell of a fight. My ACL was vaporized, as in non existent but I was able to make it look like nothing was wrong (pretty much). Until we see an MRI of Royler's knee no one will know the extent of the damage.
I think this should be a lesson to all practitioners that the end all be all of submissions has to be the choke. Put them to sleep and the fight is over. Everything else is a gamble. There are a lot of dumb, tough motherfuckers out there who would rather limp than tap, myself included.
The ego is not your amigo and I'm working on it.
