Serious injuries occur in martial arts. But the one that middleweight Khetag Pliev suffered from at a Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) event in Philadelphia on Thursday evening is as cruel as it gets.
Pliev’s left ring finger became during his co-main event -Fight against Devin Goodale separated (graphic). Broadcast cameras recorded what had happened between the second and third rounds.
There was confusion as it was not immediately clear where the disconnected part of Pliev’s digit had gone or when the injury occurred. CFFC President Rob Haydek later said on the broadcast available on the UFC Fight Pass that the finger was in Pliev’s glove.
Pliev later told ESPN’s Marc Raimondi that he was in the hospital emergency room where his finger was successfully reattached.
The fight was suspended between rounds due to injury, and Goodale won on TKO.
