Damage - Ultimate MMA

Henry Martinez stands in the Octagon during his lightweight bout against Daron Cruickshank at the UFC on FOX event at the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington

Years from now—when the lights, the crowd and the cage are long gone—they will look back with fond remembrance on those injuries and even like the battle scars that remain.
But not on this night.
