MMA fighters are cut from a different cloth. Time and time again, fight fans witness these modern-day gladiators push themselves to unimaginable limits, displaying unwavering tenacity in the face of adversity. One notable example of this indomitable spirit comes to mind – Dan Hooker. He famously completed his UFC 290 fight with both a broken arm and a broken skull.

In the fierce octagon battle at UFC London, Yanal Ashmouz, hailing from Kfar Kama, Israel, fought his second UFC bout against Chris Duncan. However, fate had a different plan for the young fighter. In the very first round, disaster struck – Ashmouz broke his wrist, an injury that would deter most, but not him.
