I don't really recall the previous injuries as I don't follow that promotion very much, only occasionally watch some matches here and there. He did have pneumonia I think back in the summer though which sidelined him for a couple months, and he wasn't fully back to strength when they brought him back.
This particular injury doesn't seem like it will be too major in the long run though. He apparently wanted to finish the match but the ref decided against that and called it off. Dunno if you've seen it, but he did the Phoenix Splash from the top and Okada rolled out of the way and when Ibushi braced himself for the miss something happened to his arm. It was speculated that he had broken his arm at first, but now it seems as though he just had a fluke dislocation of his shoulder. Will prob miss a couple months of action I imagine.
