MMA fighters are a different breed. Khetag Pliev was fighting Devin Goodale during the Cage Fury Fighting Championship in Philadelphia and lost a finger during the fight.
According to TMZ.com:
Event promoter Rob Haydak told ESPN there was a mad scramble to try to help locate it ... with the PA announcer even having to ask fans in the 2300 Arena stands if they'd seen it!
"It was a surreal moment," Haydak said.
Eventually, Pliev's finger was found tucked away in his glove -- where it had been the entire time -- but, here's the crazy part ... Pliev did NOT immediately go to the hospital to have it reattached!!!
Haydak says Pliev actually begged to continue the match ... and even though officials wouldn't let him, he still stayed in the ring for the post-fight announcement, where Goodale was rewarded with a TKO decision.
