Corey Hill Undergoes Surgery on Broken Leg, Out For Up To 18 Months
Corey Hill
UFC lightweight Corey Hill underwent successful surgery on Thursday to repair a broken leg suffered the night before in a loss against Dale Hartt at UFC Fight Night 16 “UFC Fight for the Troops” at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
UFC.com reported the development late Thursday, adding that Hill is expected to be out of action for up to 18 months but is “handling the injury well and is in good spirits”.
The report also offered updates on several other fighters who sustained injuries during Wednesday’s action. Razak Al-Hassan did not suffer a broken arm in his submission loss to Steve Cantwell but did sustain a dislocated elbow and was treated and released from the hospital. Yoshiyuki Yoshida was treated and released for a concussion stemming from his knockout loss to Josh Koscheck. Jonathan Goulet was also treated and released for a concussion suffered in his loss to Mike Swick, though Goulet also suffered a knee injury that will be further evaluated in his native Canada.

I wonder how long Hill will still be here in NC. Still feel bad for him, I liked him, hope he makes it back.
Glad that Al-Hassan only suffered a dislocation, that’s a little better than a break I suppose. He’ll probably be back as well, though on the under card of another UFN.
Maybe those French Canadians should look at not getting knee injuries. That’s two now in two months, hope GSP isn’t next.
Guess one Justin has to be first soo hello to me
Damnit!
It is good news that he didn’t break it and it just poped out of location and won’t bend normally anytime soon..
Goulet I’m not impressed by u getting ko’d all the time, punch in face = busted knee
Don’t curse the super canadian ay
Fail.^^ haha.
Hey, break, dislocation, either way is going to hurt, I just figure Mel Gibson dislocated his shoulder all the time in Lethal Weapon and he just popped it back in and was fine, an elbow can’t be much different. And before anyone starts, that was a movie, so it had to be real
Eh, besides the movie thing I could be totally off base, but “treated and released for dislocated elbow” versus “underwent surgery for broken…” I’ll take treated and released, I guess.
Fail just like my picks damn
I agree with the dislocation v break
*Babalu v Soku Affliction II
Anderson Silva won’t fight in London UFC 95*
Jesus 18 months i wonder how many screws he had to get for it.
Man i hope ufc give corey another chance that fight was going in his direction.
I cant wait to see al hassan back in action his strikeing was different and fun to watch.
corey hill is ok forh is divission not a great loss. that dude needs to eat or something.
That was one of the worst breaks I have ever seen…For those that want to see it here is a link but it is ugly.. http://www.mmatko.com/dale-hartt-vs-corey-hill-fight-video-ufn-16-fight-for-the-troops/
That leg injury reminded me of Tim Krumrie from the Bengals in the Super Bowl 20 years ago.
Cantwell just sent Hassan’s arm back via UPS.
NICO, I think that’s a pretty S****Y thing to say at this point. You don’t and won’t know what kind of impact he could have had in the division. Your inexperience just showed through man.
Corey Hill was progressing very well. Tons of natural talent. He’s improved with each fight and has a great personality. He obviously presents a different challenge given his height. Wrap all that up in Corey and that is why the UFC, THE UFC signed him. If you didn’t notice he was controlling the fight up to the point of the break.
That is just a d***k thing to say right now. I thought you were better than that NICO.
Nico,
I agree with surfingk5.
Babalu v. Soku should be a good fight, I expect Kris will post that in a quick hits later today.
The A. Silva thing is a bit of a head scratcher though.
Jesus, I already bought my ticket… thanks Anderson
I hope they dont give Hughes or Liddell the London job.
Hughes is expecting to fight Serra in April…though the UFC may look to push that to February…BTW Kris posted a story about the Anderson thing.
Sorry but i cant believe you guys are saying you are glad Al. didn’t have a broken arm. Anyone who does MMA, Jiu-jitsu or any other kind of grappeling knows when that happens you are not being a **** to tap…in my opinion he deserves the broken arm and i dont mean to wish bad thigns on people but can anyone he really tell me that he doesn’t deserve it? I know No fighter really wants to REALLY hurt another but when it is your career on the line you are goign to break an arm if your opponent doesn’t tap…just my opinion.
Did you ever stop to think he didn’t tap because he wasn’t in pain? Maybe it was adrenaline, or maybe he didn’t think he was in danger??? He never looked like he was in pain until after the snap, he didn’t even look in pain then , he looked like he was in shock lol.
gi87 has a good point…theres a reason you can tap out…if hes gunna try to be a hardass, then hes gunna get his elbow dislocated
im not the biggest hill fan but sh!t that was one of the nastyest things ive seen, hope he gets well soon,
i dont mean my remark to come off as cold hearted and what happened to Hill is a awful(for his career and himself). But I do Jiu-jitsu and compete in tourneys and trust me with an armbar like that you WILL feel it iv’e been put in armbars MANY times and tapped WAY before they ever get that far and feel them for weeks. Im sorry Hassan deserved a broken arm and honestly i wish he would have gotten it
Sorry Gi, but everyone’s not like you. Have you seen Royce Gracie fights? Most notably the one vs Hughes, where Royce was nowhere close to tapping and just sat there like nothings happening? Some guys can handle it.
handleing it and risking your body/career when you are clearly subbed really is stupid.
I agree it’s stupid for sure. But if it wasn’t hurting maybe he thought he was gonna roll again. I dunno.
JustJoe, I think the part where he was grimising and wincing from pain, pretty much tells the story of pain. The part where he doesn’t tap, risks his career over one loss and his arm pops out is the story of stupid.
Makes no sense to not tap and he was in pain.
Hassan wasn’t in pain? Did you see the look on his face when he was in the arm bar? Yamasaki was a complete douche bag for not stopping that fight. Ditto with the ref who allowed Wolff to take 51 straight knees to the head.
