If his fights weren’t proof enough, no there is now even more evidence that Paul Felder is as tough as they come.

According to a statement released by Felder’s management, Sucker Punch Entertainment, “The Irish Dragon” suffered a “small collapse” to his lung during his win over James Vick at UFC on ESPN 1 on Sunday night. According to a report from ESPN, the injury was sustained when Felder took a blow to the ribs late in the third round of the lightweight fight at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix.

The fighter is being held at an area hospital an extra day for observation.
