UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman went under the knife to repair an injury suffered before his most recent title defense.
Three weeks before facing Colby Covington at UFC 268, Usman revealed he broke his right hand. The injury did not delay the fight, and Usman would go on to use his hand well en route to a unanimous decision victory.
On Monday evening, UFC president Dana White shared graphic images of Usman’s procedure to repair ligament damage. Check out the images below if you’re curious about what the inside of a UFC champion’s hand looks like (via Instagram):
