Peter Sobotta Out Due to Fractured Left Hand

Peter Sobotta’s win at UFC Fight Night 109 will be his last for a while. Sobotta, who beat Ben Saunders at the event on Sunday, took to Instagram to announce that he will be out due to a fractured left hand that will need surgery.

“Unfortunately I have bad news: My left hand is fractured multiple times and I will have a complicated surgery on Friday where they have to take bone from my hip and repair the hand with it,” Sobotta wrote. “So, it’s pretty bad. It will takes few months, but I will be back. Injuries are part of fighting and it will not stop me.”

Unfortunately I have bad news: My left hand is fractured multiple times and I will have a complicated surgery on friday where they have to take bone from my hip and repair the hand with it, so it's pretty bad. It will takes few months but I will be back. Injuries are part of fighting and it will not stop me. I'll be back stronger!!!
