Hill Undergoes Surgery, out for up to 18 Months

By Thomas
Gerbasi


UFC lightweight Corey Hill underwent surgery for a broken leg Thursday morning at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The injury was sustained in the second round of his bout against Dale Hartt on Wednesday’s UFC Fight for The Troops card at the Crown Coliseum.

Expected to be out of action anywhere from a year to 18 months, Hill is currently resting in the hospital with his family. The former Ultimate Fighter standout is handling the injury well and is in good spirits a day after suffering the clean break to his right leg while throwing a kick which was blocked by Hartt.

In other injury updates from the December 10th event, light heavyweight Razaak Al-Hassan was treated and released from the hospital last night after suffering a dislocated right elbow in a submission loss to Steve Cantwell, and welterweights Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Jonathan Goulet were both treated and released for concussions after KO losses to Josh Koscheck and Mike Swick, respectively. Goulet will also have his knee checked out when he returns to his native Canada.

    The picture was SICK!! I'm sure the guys at FighterWarehouse.com and Clinch Gear are happy for all the exposure they're getting, though... it's probably going to make YouTube history!

    That was a horrendous injury for anyone to suffer. Unfortunately for Corey, when a fighter is injured there is no workmans comp or some such thing to help with the bills. Lighter and newer fighter like Mr. Hill tend not to make very much money for a fight. This guy is going to be out ofr at least a year without a source of income. As fans of the sport, we should show our support to the fighters that put their bodies on the line for our entertainment. I am going to send some money to his training camp for him and hope others will do the same even if it is only $1. Anyone know who he trains with now?
