Varner suffered 2 fractures and ligament damage
When Jamie Varner finally decided he'd had enough of hobbling around on one leg while a man being paid to try and hurt him was violently inflicting damage on his clearly injured appendage, he was relatively certain he had suffered a broken ankle.
Turns out, he was right.
Two fractured bones and torn ligaments! I have to see a specialist next week. Thanks for the support!

Varner fought the better part of a round on Saturday night with the injury, and showed heart and determination against an opponent, James Krause, who showed no mercy when attacking the Arizona Combat Sports product's lead leg.
Although it was Varner's third straight loss, and he'll likely be on the shelf for an extended period, UFC president Dana White's appreciation of his efforts should keep him under Zuffa employ.
