Worst injury that some one has returned from

What is the worst injury that anybody has seen or heard of that a person got and still was able return and fight again? Nate Quarry's seemed pretty extreme to have a vertebrae replaced and come back and fight again. Anybody know of any others?

Nog was hit by a truck as young man. That nearly killed him, but I guess you can't say that he "returned" to fighting...since it was before he ever fought.

Also, wasn't Jason Ireland involved in some sort of terrible accident? Funny, but I thought it was a motorcycle crash, but maybe i'm just confusing him with Mir.

I got pretty messed up that time I fought Fedor. Even though I won, he tore off one of my legs and hit me with it until the ref said he wasnt allowed to use weapons and took it from him.
That one took some time to heal.
You guys probably never heard about it.
It was a while back

Still that is pretty impressive. Do you know the extent of the injury, other than it almost killed him? Just curious.

The huge scar/hole on his back is from the accident.

Sam sheridan wrote a book called "a fighters heart" that has all the details of NOGS accident in it. I belive he was in the hospital for a few months, and they said he would be paralyzed.
The book is worth reading. Its like a look behind the scenes of mma. He spent years traveling to different gyms training, and the whole time writing about it.

Mir by Landslide. The dude was basically crushed. When he goes by an airport scanner, the security guard sees the skeleton of the terminator.
