'Fight for the Troops' Results in a Night of Injuries, Hill Out for 12-18 Months

Article Posted: December 12th, 2008 | By: Selina "Dead" Wong | Comments: 1 | Comment Now

UFC 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.

UFC 'Fight for the Troops': Cantwell Painfully Submits Al-Hassan

Article Posted: December 11th, 2008 | By: Jason F. Hatcher | Comments: 6 | Comment Now

“Robot” Steve Cantwell (7-1) defeated Razak Al-Hassan (7-1) via submission at the 4:04 mark of the first round with a painfully extended armbar Wednesday night at Fort Bragg during the UFC’s “Fight for the Troops” event.

Al-Hassan’s striking was respectable from the opening round landing a strong left hand to the chin and a leg kick. But just as Al-Hassan’s striking appeared more accurate, Cantwell soon answered the shots with a double dose of clean left punches.

Cantwell’s counter soon led to a takedown where Al-Hassan found himself under the weight of side control. Soon after, Cantwell grabbed Al-Hassan’s right arm and secured a tight armbar. Al-Hassan refused to tap out but such refusal resulted in an dangerously extended arm cuing referee Mario Yamasaki to step in and stop the fight.

The instant replay of the submission showed what appeared to be Al-Hassan’s elbow popping out of socket as his arm was bent tremendously in an unhealthy direction.

Steve Cantwell officially won via submission (armbar) at 4:04 of the first round.
