Would you still be able to properly defend take downs from a great wrestler like Matt Hammil? How about trading punches, and having the leg movement, to skillfully do so?

My point being... Matyushenko is 41, well past his prime in sports terms, and 26-6 in MMA, during his 15 year career. With that many years of experience, and that kind of record, I don't see him as the type to pussy out of a fight, just because he's "hurt".
To be honest, this is probably a career ending injury for him...
