Do Not Click This If You Do Not Like Gross Broken Hands Of UFC Fighters

NOTE: This is your warning that if you do not like gross things, you probably want to just leave this post now. Again, you’ve been warned. Got it? You know what you’re in for? Good. Let’s get this show on the road.

Being an MMA fighter is dangerous. You know this. It’s dangerous for your ears. It’s dangerous for your blood supply. It’s dangerous for your face. And as a recent injury suffered by UFC’s Anthony Njokuani will remind you, it’s dangerous for your hands, too. Njokuani broke his during a bout earlier this month, shared an X-ray to prove it, and then yesterday, gave us an especially graphic look at the recovery process:

Yikes. Njokuani said he suffered the injury in the first round, but kept fighting (with limited effectiveness – he wound up losing, so, insult to gruesome injury). Still, the fact that he went on fighting with something that wound up looking like that makes this more than enough to be the latest of many, many installments of “MMA Fighters: They’re Tougher Than You.”
