There’s one channel I skip right through without fail when I’m watching TV and that’s the Discovery Health network. They’re always showing one surgical procedure or another. I’m not terribly squeamish, but it’s just too much for me to watch a doctor tinker with someone’s brain fully exposed in crystal-clear HD. I was never meant to be a doctor, that’s for sure. Anyways, if you’re like me, you’ll probably want to skip this video of the special procedure Miguel Torres went through to properly fix that nasty gash Joseph Benavidez opened up on his forehead at WEC 47. It’s not the worst thing you’ll ever see, but you do get a better look at Miguel’s skull than you probably ever wanted.

The OAC has released the fighter payouts for WEC 47 “Bowles vs. Cruz.” Keep in mind, these figures represent the base contracted pay the fighter receives from the promotion. These figures do not include any additional undisclosed bonuses or sponsorship money, which in many cases exceeds a fighter’s base pay. These numbers also do not account for taxes, insurance, and license fees.

This big! If you dare, scroll down below for the before pic. It is nasty. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
