MMA fans have been stunned by another gruesome injury after former Olympic wrestler Khetag Pliev lost a finger during a Cage Fury Fighting Championship bout.<\/p>\n
Up against Devin Goodale, Pliev's fight was called off when his corner noticed that his left ring finger had gone missing at some point during the second round.<\/p>\n
"It wasn't a compound fracture, a break, it wasn't a dislocation, a break, a laceration," ex-WWE star C.M. Punk said on commentary. "His finger was just gone. It's gone."<\/p>\n
Pliev's ring finger was unable to be located for a while, with a PA announcement made to ask fans to look for it, before it was found in his glove. <\/p>\n

"I can't remember anything, I don't know," Goodale told The Guardian when asked about his opponent's missing finger. <\/p>\n
"I got hit by something big, I don't remember what happened. I'm just being honest. <\/p>\n
"I don't remember what happened. I'll have to watch the tape myself, I don't remember anything."<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old was quickly transported to the hospital and had his finger successfully reattached, but was still unhappy with the result, which was officially ruled a TKO.<\/p>\n
According to ESPN's Marc Raimondi<\/a>, Pliev was left more frustrated that the fight was stopped as opposed to actually losing his finger.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em>For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by clicking here! <\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MMA fans have been stunned by another gruesome injury after former Olympic wrestler Khetag Pliev lost a finger during a Cage Fury Fighting Championship bout.
