The German MMA fighter who got badly injured in a machete attack in Hamburg released his first public statement on Friday morning.
What happened Wednesday night in Germany sounds like a horrible scene from a mobster movie: At least five men stormed an MMA gym in Hamburg, grabbed German top-five middleweight Abeku Afful, locked themselves in a room with him and badgered him with knives, a baton, and even a machete. The intruders injured Afful so bad that he needed to undergo multiple emergency surgeries to save his life. You can find details of the attack and graphic photos of the injured Afful here.
