UFC FN 47: Bader vs. St. Preux - Page 3

That's pretty crazy. I've heard of guys training and fighting through injuries but broken bones in your hand is a new one. Can't you do permanent damage by punching with a broken hand I wonder how bad it can get.

Dunno how it feels to fight with a broken/fractured hand, but I usually have to sit down and stop moving when I stub my toe.

The win works out perfectly for Bader though. His wife is about to give birth and he'll be able to take up to a year off to heal his injuries if needed. He's on a 3-fight win streak and the division is kind of clogged up at the top with Jones/Cormier being pushed back till January, and there will be an automatic rematch if Cormier wins. After that, Gus is supposed to fight for the title.

Anyway, Bader is lucky everything worked out well for him.

Also, I hope Cormier beats Jones, just so they can rematch and leave Gus feeling like an idiot for pulling a Rashad and sitting out almost 1.5 years waiting for a title shot.
