UFC’s Paige VanZant undergoes second surgery on broken arm

Paige VanZant went under the knife a second time on Thursday.

The UFC women’s flyweight underwent a second surgery on her broken arm, which lasted nearly four hours and took place in Las Vegas, per MMAjunkie.com. In the operation, bone fragments from her hip were moved to her arm in hopes of finally healing the long-lasting injury.

VanZant suffered the arm injury in a January bout against Jessica-Rose Clark at UFC Fight Night 124, which she lost via unanimous decision. She had her first surgery that month, but months later, doctors discovered her arm hadn’t healed at all.
