Fabiano Injures Hand; No Serious Injuries at WEC 40

Submission specialist Wagnney Fabiano was the only fighter sent to need further medical attention following WEC 40 on Sunday night in Chicago.

WEC officials confirmed Fabiano had suffered an unspecified injury to his hand and was going to the hospital to get it checked out.

Fabiano and opponent Fredson Paixao chose to keep their fight up, trading shots for three rounds on the evening's undercard.

In the end, judges gave the IFL veteran every round, awarding him 30-27 scores. It was his second consecutive victory in the WEC after making his debut at WEC 37, where he submitted the highly regarded Japanese featherweight Akitoshi Tamura by arm triangle.

Fabiano now stands at 12-1 in professional competition.
