'Fight for the Troops' Results in a Night of Injuries, Hill Out for 12-18 Months
By: Selina "Dead" Wong Posted On: December 12, 2008 at 4:04amUFC lightweight “The Real Deal” Corey Hill (2-2) underwent surgery Thursday morning for his broken leg and will be out of action for twelve to eighteen months, according to the UFC.
Hill suffered a clean but shockingly gruesome break to his right shin when he threw a kick that was checked by opponent Dale Hartt (5-1) during Fight for the Troops in Fayetteville, NC, Wednesday night.
Hill’s was not the only injury that required a visit to the hospital. Razak Al-Hassan’s (7-1) right elbow was dislocated when “Robot” Steve Cantwell (7-1) had him in an armbar and Al-Hassan refused to tap. He was treated and released from the hospital Wednesday night.
Fighters.com’s ninth-ranked welterweight “Zenko” Yoshiyuki Yoshida (10-3), who was brutally KO’d by fourth-ranked Josh Koscheck (12-3) in round one, and Jonathan Goulet (22-11), who was TKO’d by “Quick” Mike Swick (13-2) in 33 seconds, were both treated and released for concussions.

Good victory for Kos, no surprises there. It’d sure be great to see him get another shot at Alves. It’s safe to assume that Kos is right back behind Alves for no. 1 contender.
