It appears that Tofiq Musayev was also battling adversity during the Rizin FF 20 grand prix final.

A short while after Patricky Freire’s coach, Eric Albarracin, revealed that “Pitbull” entered his fight with Musayev with a broken hand, Musayev reportedly has said that he, too, broke his hand.

But during the fight.

Musayev apparently suffered a broken hand in the second round of his fight with Freire, going on to win the grand prix lightweight title.

Musayev defeated Freire via unanimous decision, having gotten past UFC veterans Damien Brown and Johnny Case, en route to winning the grand prix lightweight final.
