Photos: Ryan Jimmo's broken arm, post-surgery, following UFC 174

Ryan Jimmo wasn’t joking when he announced during Saturday’s UFC 174 event that his right arm was broken.

In fact, it was a clean break, the UFC light heavyweight confirmed on social media.

Facing Ovince Saint Preux (15-5 MMA, 4-0 UFC) in a pay-per-view main-card bout at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena, Jimmo (19-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) escaped the mount and back-mount positions in the second round but further injured his arm in a subsequent scramble.

As the pain mounted and Saint Preux looked to isolate his opponent’s left (non-broken) arm, Jimmo alerted referee Kevin Dornan of the broken right arm. The bout was then waved off. (Check out the Saint Preux vs. Jimmo video highlights.)

Following the loss, the 32-year-old Canadian (and teammate Aaron Simpson) posted photos, showing the break, as well as the screws that were used during the surgery. According to Simpson, the limb broke when Jimmo tried to check a kick earlier in the fight.
