Featherweight prospect Herbert Burns took on veteran Evan Dunham in the first bout of the evening at Saturday’s UFC 250 event in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The result was a quick first round submission from the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist. Burns (10-2 MMA) was able to take Dunham (18-8 MMA) to the canvas in the early moments of round one and promptly proceeded to lock in a fight-ending<\/a> rear-naked choke.<\/p>\n The victory improved Burns to 2-0 under the UFC banner, with his previous win coming over Nate Landwehr by way of first round knockout.<\/p>\n While Burns sustained little damage at the hands of his opponent on Saturday night, he did not fair well against the Octagon cage.<\/p>\n After submitting Evan Dunham, Herbert Burns was seen limping around the cage.<\/p>\n UFC commentator Joe Rogan took notice and said: “It looks like Herbert hurt himself”.<\/p>\n Then in the post-fight interview Burns confirmed to Rogan that he had in fact suffered an injury against the cage.<\/p>\n “My foot is really bleeding,” Herbert Burns explained. “I think when I tried to push him against the cage, my left foot went through the cage and caused a huge cut. I’m bleeding, but I’ll be fine.”<\/p>\n It turns out Burns was not at exaggerating about the severity of the wound.<\/p>\n Check out the nasty photos of the injury below courtesy of @UFCDoctor on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n UFC Safety Tip: The Rule is dont insert anything in the fence.
