Christos Giagos out of UFC Paris after suffering freak toilet-related injury

Christos Giagos is on the mend after undergoing a minor surgery on his hand recently.

The ‘Spartan’ announced Monday that he was forced to withdraw from his fight against Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC Paris after accidentally slicing open a tendon in his pinky finger on a broken toilet while cleaning. Giagos thought he would recover in time to fight, but a visit to a hand specialist suggested otherwise.

“I was getting some cleaning done and while wiping down a piece of my grill in the trash my hand hit a broken porcelain toilet and gashed my hand open, cutting a tendon in my pinky,” wrote Giagos on Instagram.
