As resilient as ever, UFC veteran Fabio Maldonado has found the time to finally talk about the mysterious accident that left him bleeding with a massive gash in his right hand, as he waited to be rushed to surgery last week. What happened, as he explained to Combate, was that he fell down a flight of stairs in his house, and then crashed through a glass door in a freak chain of events.

"I tore my whole wrist, the glass cut my artery and a bit of nerve, too,” Maldonado said. “It's a big stairway and I was almost at the end of it, going down, carrying some groceries and heading to the gym.
