LAS VEGAS – There’s adding insult to injury, and then there’s adding injury to injury. Jamie Varner suffered a brutal break of his left ankle in the first round of his fight against James Krause on Saturday night at UFC 173. But the former WEC lightweight champion kept soldiering on, throwing punches at his opponent – even as his leg continued to buckle. He even appeared to be close to having Krause in trouble on the feet. But by the end of the first round, Varner was on the canvas saying his ankle was broken, and that was the end of the fight. But as Varner got to the stool, just after the fight had been called off, giving Krause a TKO win, the cageside doctor accidentally stepped on his left foot, and Varner grimaced in more pain.
