Ronda Rousey: WWE and UFC star almost loses finger in gruesome ‘freak accident’

Warning graphic content: The American had to have her bone and tendon reattached but has since returned to filming

Ronda Rousey almost lost a finger in a “freak accident” while filming a television show with the UFC and WWE star finishing the scene before being attended to.

Rousey proved her toughness by failing to break character, despite almost snapping through her bone and tendon.

After finishing filming, Rousey attended San Diego hospital and is now making a quick recovery after having a metal plate and screw inserted.

“So the word is out I nearly lost my finger shooting 9-1-1 on Fox,” Rousey revealed on social media. “Freak accident, first take of the day a boat door fell on my hand, I thought I just jammed my fingers so I finished the take before looking.

“I know it sounds crazy, but I’m used to live audiences and never showing pain unless I’m supposed to. After a break in the action I told our director the situation and was rushed via ambulance to the hospital where they promptly reattached my bone and tendon with a plate and screws.

“I returned to filming the next day and finished my scenes before returning home to recover. Modern medicine amazes me, I already had 50 per cent range of motion back in 3 days. There’s so much more that I can write here, stay tuned.

“And of course tune in to see how well I can act like my finger didn’t just fall off in this upcoming season.”

The 32-year-old plays Lena Bosko in the third season of the hit show.

Rousey remains under contract with the WWE through April 2021.

She is currently on a hiatus from the WWE and planned to start a family with husband and UFC heavyweight fighter Travis Brown.
