For one MMA fighter in China, those qualities were about to be tested. MMA Today News' John Hyon Ko has gone to social media to report that a mixed martial artist in China has suffered a horrifying injury from a recent match up. Along with the report, the journalist has offered a photo of the gruesome injury. Over Twitter, John Hyon Ko reported "This happened in China on Sunday.
