After snapping his leg during a fight with Dale Hartt at Wednesday's "UFC Fight Night 16: UFC Fight for the Troops," Corey Hill has undergone surgery and will be out of action for approximately 12 to 18 months.
Hill, who broke his leg during the TKO loss, went under the knife this morning at the Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville, N.C., according to UFC.com's Thomas Gerbasi.
"Hill is currently resting in the hospital with his family," Gerbasi wrote. "The former 'Ultimate Fighter' standout is handling the injury well and is in good spirits a day after suffering the clean break to his right leg while throwing a kick, which was blocked by Hartt."
