MMA’s Khetag Pliev loses finger during fight — and there was a massive search to find it
New York Post ^ | April 2, 2021 | Scott Fontana

In combat sports, gnarly injuries happen. But the one suffered by middleweight Khetag Pliev at a Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) event on Thursday night in Philadelphia is about as gruesome as it gets.

Pliev’s left ring finger was severed (Graphic image) during his co-main event bout against Devin Goodale, with broadcast cameras picking up what happened between the second and third rounds.

“In the second round, he caught my glove with one hand and held it,” Pliev told ESPN’s Marc Raimondi. “I felt my finger snapped. He kept pulling my glove and my finger snapped. We kept fighting. When the second round was finished, I see my [bone] was out in the open. I wanted to keep fighting, because I felt like I had this guy. But the doctor saw that and stopped the fight. “

Sure, it’s all fun and games until someone loses a body part.

The pinky finger on my right hand is permanently bent out of shape from some kung fu practice years ago -- middle knuckle was completely dislocated. We were sparring, it was an accident.

Comes with the territory.

Don't you hate it when you misplace something and go crazy trying to find it?

The gloves are fingerless. How did they find it in there?
