Larry Wheels and Vitaly's co-main event clash at Brand Risk 15 on Saturday, August 22, 2026, ended prematurely when Wheels sustained an apparent right bicep injury. The bout was ruled a no contest, with neither fighter earning a victory or defeat. Commentator Rampage Jackson suggested that Wheels would likely require surgery to address the injury.
Distal biceps tears typically require surgical reattachment of the tendon to the forearm bone, usually performed shortly after injury. Recovery involves four weeks of immobilization followed by physical therapy extending from week two through week twelve, with rehabilitation typically complete within three to four months. Strenuous exercise clearance generally comes around six months post-surgery.
The Brand Risk 15 card at the Brand Risk Warehouse in Miami featured several other results, including Austin McBroom's first-round knockout victory over FaZe Temperrr and No Neck Jay's opening-round knockout against Shane Chance.
