Urijah Faber Breaks Hand In Decision Loss To Mike Brown In WEC Championship Fight
Urijah Faber Is Left Still Wanting His Belt Back, And With a Very Broken Hand
In case you missed the WEC featherweight championship fight between Urijah Faber and Mike Brown on Versus last night, that main event was an epic 5-round brawl, which ended up going to the defending champion Brown by decision.

Faber suffered a broken hand during the fight, but kept going until the end, despite the fact that he was most likely in an incredible amount of pain. I guess when you're an MMA fighter, the whole "pain" thing just comes with the territory. He was nice enough, however, to post an x-ray picture of the damage on Twitter for the world to see.


Obviously, his bones in there are all jacked up. It's a bit gross, but fascinating to see what is actually a very common occurence in MMA.

Since every story needs a happy ending, here is his hand after they went in and reset everything. Recover quickly, Urijah. And for the sake of your dignity, don't ever wear your hair like that ever again, thank you very much.

 sad thing is - this guy could whip my a** with two broken hands. Goes to show how good some of these MMA guys are.....or how bad I am...I have to go console myself now.

He apparently broke it in the 1st round. So he went 4+ rounds with the best in the world in his weight class, and lost by decision. To call that impressive is a vast understatement.

Rick Allen could whip your a** with one arm tied behind his back.

Those pictures are hard to look at.  Really wish I could have watched the fight live.

Faber's a beast for going through the entire fight after breaking his hand in the very first round.  I could honestly watch him and Mike Brown fight 100 times and it owuld never get old, they are basically by themselves at the top of the Featherweight division (but Wagnney Fabiano is rising).  I hope they make this fight happen again, and I hope Faber has a speedy recovery.

He broke his hand because he has a powerful punch!! Brown better be glad Faber broke it or he would have had is butt handed to him.

Now Faber has an even bigger obstacle to overcome not only getting his hand to heel, he will now have to battle his way up through the ranks again if he wants a title shot again......Go Mike Brown 2-0 against Faber.

The fight with Mike Brown was awesome and they are both great fighters, I still would like to see Uriah Faber win his belt back, but you are right he has a long road ahead of him. He can do it though if anyone can.
