Gallery Photos: Best of Paige VanZant view 31 images After the initial surgery didn’t take, Paige VanZant went back under the knife today to repair the damage sustained to her arm in her most recent UFC fight. VanZant (7-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) suffered a broken right arm in her unanimous-decision loss to Jessica-Rose Clark (9-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 124 in January. She had surgery shortly after the flyweight contest, but months later it was discovered the healing process wasn’t going well. Likely a product of returning to training “too quickly” , doctors decided a second procedure was best for VanZant to make a complete recovery. Today in Las Vegas, “12 Gauge” had a nearly four hour operation where bone fragments were taken from the hip and moved to the arm. She is now recovering and will return home to Portland on Monday, MMAjunkie confirmed with a member of her team

UFC’s Uriah Hall opens up on weight cut that hospitalized him, and it sounds like a nightmare

BAD MMA News — Fri, 18 May 2018 00:12:43 +0000

Fellow UFC fighter Paige VanZant called it one of the scariest things she’d ever seen. And hearing Uriah Hall describe what happened to him prior to weigh-ins for his scheduled fight with Vitor Belfort at UFC Fight Night 124 in January, yeah, we’d say that sounds accurate. How do you know this one was bad? Well, for starters, Hall doesn’t remember much of it. And what he does remember is just as troubling, like when he passed out on the way to weigh-ins and woke up swinging on the EMTs who were trying to stick a needle in him. So, yeah, pretty bad.

Uriah Hall’s coach criticizes Dana White’s response to collapse: He ‘almost died for your organization’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 15:04:54 +0000

Xtreme Couture coach Eric Nicksick was there for much of middleweight Uriah Hall ’s training for UFC Fight Night 124. The coach also was there when Hall had a “slight heart attack” during his weight cut. Contrary to the opinion of UFC President Dana White , nothing about the situation was the result of lax preparation. “It’s tough, especially when your employer is the first one to bag on you,” Nicksick told MMAjunkie Radio. “I think what really hurt me was, this guy almost died for your organization.” Hall (13-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) collapsed on the way to the official weigh-ins for the event this past month and was forced to withdraw from a fight against ex-champ Vitor Belfort (26-13 MMA, 15-10 UFC) in a co-headliner at Scottrade Center in St
