WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner credits playing video games for helping rehab his injured hand.
The 155-pound mixed martial arts fighter broke the right index metacarpal in his hand, had two fractured bones in his left foot and a lesion in his right eye in a win over Donald (Cowboy) Cerrone in January.
The 25-year-old Varner thanks his doctor for the gaming advice.
"He told me to stay playing video games because that would strengthen everything up," he told a media conference call Tuesday.
His Xbox was on loan to fellow fighter Ryan Bader, however. But he got it back a couple of months ago, just in time for the release of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2."
"So I've been on that non-stop pretty much," he said.
