Michael McDonald gives update on latest hand injury

“Mayday” picked up a spectacular 58-second knockout win over former two-time bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas last Friday at Bellator 202, but the victory was almost pyrrhic as McDonald said in his post-fight interview that he’d broken his left hand. This comes on the heels of his Bellator debut last December in which his right hand was broken.

The mounting injuries had McDonald questioning how much longer he can continue fighting.

On Tuesday, McDonald took to social media to give an update on his hand, revealing that he will not need surgery this time around after undergoing several surgeries on his right hand over the last few years.
