UFC fighters are pretty much accustomed to the thought of taking damage inside the octagon. However, outside the octagon, not so much. UFC middleweight fighter, Eryk Anders, recently suffered a horrific accident that left him with a cut-up foot.
Anders suffered an accident while operating a chainsaw and ended up deeply cutting himself on his foot. He took to Instagram and shared the graphic details of his terrifying injury.

From the images he shared via social media, it looks like Eryk Anders’ shoes and socks couldn’t help him avoid the horrific injury he got from the chainsaw. The chainsaw tore through the layers and gave him three big and deep wounds on his foot, for which he received numerous stitches.

Anders didn’t elaborate precisely on how the chainsaw cut into his foot. However, he wrote in the caption,” they don’t make left handed chainsaws.” He was asked how the incident happened in the comments section of his post. The UFC middleweight fighter wrote,” head kicked a chainsaw.”
However, knowing the nature of Eryk Anders, he is most likely only trolling. No one in their right mind would head kick a chainsaw.
