Gian Villante Thinks He Broke His Hand With First Punch at UFC 220

Gian Villante spoke about injuring his hand during his win over Francimar Barroso at UFC 220. Highlights are below, per MMAjunkie::

On when he broke his hand: “First [punch], I could tell right away it was probably done. But I’m a meathead, so I keep going.”

On his reaction to the injury: “Whatever. It hurts. (I’ll use) my left hand to drink beer. That’s it.”

On one of the judges scoring the fight for Barroso: “I hate that a judge could give it to him. I heard (UFC President Dana White) in the corner, saying ‘You’ve got to be kidding’ after the one judge read it the other way.”

On not finishing the bout: “I know what we’re all trying to do – well, not him anyway. But most of us, when we fight, we’re trying to get these finishes. We’re trying to put on a show for the fans. If I’m going to be put on a good spot on the card, on a huge card – probably one of the best cards I’ve ever been on. I’m here to put on a damn show. I don’t care, win or lose. Most of the time, I don’t care if – I know it’s not a smart thing. Half my pay is based on if I win or lose. But I want to put on a damn show. And he didn’t want to. I really wanted to get the knockout. I really wanted the bonus, like always. I’m always fighting for bonuses. Even ‘Fight of the Night,’ I don’t care. Let’s put on a damn show. And he’s running that much? So scared that a judge could give it to him. And I hate judges. Sorry, I hate you all. It’s probably not going to help me get any scores my way in the future, but I don’t want scores. I want knockouts. And that’s hard to do if the guy’s running like that.”
