Quick read

Former UFC champion Matt Hughes has suffered another serious injury, losing a finger phalanx in a recent accident. This latest incident adds to Hughes' ongoing health struggles that began in 2017 when he was involved in a devastating car crash. That accident resulted in a brain hemorrhage and forced Hughes to essentially relearn basic life functions during his recovery. The details of how Hughes lost part of his finger were limited in the post. Hughes remains one of UFC's most decorated welterweight champions despite these recent hardships.
