The former UFC light heavyweight, who returned to the win column with a first-round victory in Tajikistan in March, suffered an accident at home Saturday. He then posted the play-by-play of his scary injury on his Instagram page.
“I had an accident and will undergo emergency surgery here in Sorocaba,” Maldonado wrote in a post that shows a cut in his hand. “I lost a lot of blood, but thank God I’ll be fine.”
In a separate post, in which he shows the trails of blood on the ground, Maldonado says he “lost a lot of blood, but thank God I’m already going to surgery.
