Bellator’s Michael McDonald shares graphic photo following successful hand surgery


Filed under: Bellator, Blue Corner, News

Michael McDonald underwent successful hand surgery this week following a win in his Bellator debut earlier this month.

McDonald (18-4 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) earned a unanimousdecision win over Peter Ligier (8-2-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) at Bellator 191 on Dec. 15, but he suffered a broken hand in the process.

“Mayday” has endured several injuries in recent years. His Bellator debut was just his third fight in a four-year stretch, and it marked his first victory since January 2016.

Two weeks after the fight, McDonald revealed he went under the knife and had a complication-free operation to repair the damage to his right hand (via Instagram):

“Successful repair! Special thanks to Dr James Vahey at the Hand Center of Nevada. If you are looking for a hand expert, he’s worth flying in for. Time for physical therapy to start.”

Following his Bellator 191 win, McDonald, 26, shared an X-ray of the injury he sustained against Ligier (via Instagram):
