UFC fighter Paul Felder suffered a horrifying injury during Sunday’s fight. According to reports and an Instagram post, Felder suffered a collapsed lung while he was battling it out with James Vick.
Felder announced the news in a post on social media.
The caption read:
Paul Felder suffered a collapsed lung in the closing minutes of his fight against James Vick last night, his manager Brian Butler told ESPN. Doctors believe the lung was punctured when he took a shot to the ribs at the end of the third round. He is being held an extra day at a local Phoenix hospital for observation, Butler said. As a result of the injury, Felder has been forced to pull out of his color analyst duties for this weekend’s UFC Prague telecast.
