Earlier in the year we did an interview with former WEC veteran and star of the epic documentary “Occupation: Fighter”, Chad “Savage” George. While interviewing Chad he told us that he was looking forward to making 2013 “The Year of the Savage”. This is the year, Chad has told us, that he wants to make a break-out year for his career.

At Last Word on Sports we’re big Chad George fans, and will be following his progress this year in a series of articles that we’re calling “The Year of the Savage Diaries”. In the first episode we learned that Chad had a herniated disc in his lower back and needed surgery. You can view the episode here.

Today we feature the second episode, which features Chad in the hours and days immediately following his surgery. Watch his first steps on the road to recovery and his work to make 2013, the Year of the Savage.

Stay tuned for more episodes to come!
