That’s an absolutely disgusting injury and there’s no other way to put it. That’s about as gross as it can get short of your ankle straight up snapping.
Everyone knows injuries are part of the sport, but that doesn’t necessarily make stomaching them any easier!
Yeah, Yair Rodriguez’s foot is definitely broken. SWOLE LIKE A BALOON #UFCVegas42 pic.twitter.com/OS8VS4LZ64

Hopefully, Rodriguez’s foot is able to heal up as quickly as possible so he can make a triumphant return to the octagon.
He has the spirit of a warrior, but that’s not going to change the fact his foot is in bad shape!
Max Holloway actually made sure to track down Yair Rodriguez before he was transported to the hospital to show his respect and appreciation 🤙pic.twitter.com/nZk3cxGDFf
