How much of a savage is Raphael Assuncao? The bantamweight fought for over 10 minutes with a broken right arm in Saturday’s decision win over Mike Easton. Oh, and that’s not even the half of it.

Saturday’s victory marked Assuncao’s fourth straight inside the Octagon.
No word on how long the Brazilian will be forced to ride the pine.
