Nate Quarry gets facial reconstruction surgery:
"Got screwed in the face 13 times yesterday! Yep, facial reconstruction surgery. Good times."
"My cheekbones were broken loose and had to be screwed down to keep them in place. Then a mesh made from titanium is laid down with some bone growth material over the top of it. That accelerates the whole healing process. Screws will be permanent. As is the titanium mesh they laid down."

bummer
hope the guy is alright, I don,t think we’ll be seeing him fight much longer. I didn’t think Jorge gave it to him that bad, but damn

Learn some god damn defense Quarry.

Looked like his reactions slowed considerably to me.

my thoughts exactly
Quarry was in full mummy mode on his feet. He seemed stiff, like his back surgery finally caught up with him. And now that his face has been shattered, I think it’s time to take a lesson and stay out of the cage. I don’t want to see a good guy get hurt any more.

Between his Nuvasive back surgery and now titanium mesh grafted onto his facial bones, we have the beginnings of this guy

Someone looks like Heath Herring...
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
It’s just a mesh. It’s not going to make his face “harder” so much as hold the bones together better.

I thought I was reading a Jenna quote for a second there…

Either Jorge Rivera has more power than he ever did before...
…Or this is the result of sustained damage over time. Aside from his fights against Maia and Starnes, I can’t ever remember Quarry leaving the Octagon without looking all busted up, win or lose.

Tim Credeur beat his face in too.

funny
Funny how Bloody Elbow posts something and then an hour later it’s up on MMAmania. MMAmania is lazy.
its actually usually the other way around. Mania always has Fight Night Bounses and Medical Suspensions up many hours before BE after any given event. Yesterday, they had the Silva/Sonnen announcement 45 minutes before BE.
however, BE definitely has way better, more in-depth analysis articles, more rational commenters, and covers a wider range of topics. if you want pure news ASAP, there’s other places than BE, but if you want the best coverage, it’s BE
stay away from cagepotato and
for the love of GOD, do not even think about going on the sherdog forums. they are filled with trolls and 13 year old girls. some of the worst commenters ever. I am now dumber for having read through them, and I lost part of my soul AND i died a little on the inside. That is something I can never get back…

Screw titanium
Nate needs some fucking Adamantium!
The secrets...
… of working facial Adamantium were lost when the Dwarves delved too deeply.
