UFC Legend Matt Hughes Loses Part of Finger Following 2017 Brain Injury Recovery

Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes has suffered another setback, losing part of a finger. The Hall of Famer was involved in a serious accident in 2017 that resulted in a brain hemorrhage and required him to essentially relearn basic life skills. After years of recovery from that traumatic injury, Hughes has now lost a finger phalanx in a separate incident. Details about how the finger injury occurred were not disclosed in the announcement. Hughes remains one of the most accomplished welterweights in UFC history despite these personal hardships.
