- Russian walks into a bar, puts up four fingers and says “five beers, please!”: From the “What The Fuck” file, Khetag Pliev was co-main eventing Cage Fury Fighting Championship 94 on Thursday when he severed his finger. Pliev CONCEALED IT AND TRIED TO FIGHT ON before the ref realized that he was a four-fingered man a round later, stopped the fight, and eventually TOLD THE FANS TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR PLIEV’S MISSING FINGER! Fortunately, alls well that ends well, they found the finger and had it re-attached. MMA, man…
