Aldo Aftermath - Urijah Fabers Leg

It was reported that Urijah Faber was paid $28,000 for his fight on Saturday against WEC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo. This doesn't include money paid by sponsors or any other undisclosed bonuses. Whatever the paycheck Urijah received it doesn't seem like enough to have to take that sort of damage. His leg looks like it may have died and is simply remaining attached to his body by bruised flesh, with no life in it. Props to Faber for continuing to answer the bell each round... I would have quit after one of those kicks.

There are some other pictures surfacing around the internet of his leg, swollen and looking like he had just been run over by a truck. This one is one of the most recent. It really looks like there has been some serious
damage done. We'll have to wait and see if there are any medical complications as a result of his injury.

Urijah received a medical suspension of six months or until he is cleared by a physician for his left thigh and knee injury. Which means he won't be training for a long time, and it is unlikely we will see him in the cage until 2011. When he does return I wouldn't be surprised to see him sporting a wrapped knee.
