Last night, on the main card of UFC 226, UFC lightweight contender Paul Felder stepped into the cage for a short-notice scrap with UFC welterweight knockout artist “Platinum” Mike Perry.<\/p>\n
Ahead of UFC 226, this fight was looked at as a sure-thing in terms of violence. And unlike Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou’s co-main event battle<\/a>, it actually delivered.<\/p>\n For three rounds, Perry and Felder pummelled each other with thunderous punches, and tore into each other’s faces with slashing elbows. Even when Felder appeared to break his arm mid-fight, the action continued, surging along at a frenetic pace until the final horn sounded.<\/p>\n Once the fight was over, and Perry had been awarded a split decision victory, Felder needed fairly urgent medical attention \u2014 not just for his injured arm, but for the many slices that criss-crossed his face. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like the all-action lightweight star’s hospital visit was particularly pleasant.<\/p>\n From the hospital, Felder shared a selfie that showed him caked in dried blood, having clearly not even been wiped off by his caretakers.<\/p>\n Still waiting for stickers… and um thanks for cleaning me up.
