UFC fighter Paige VanZant underwent successful arm surgery on Thursday.
The 24-year-old suffered a broken arm in her loss to Jessica-Rose Clark at UFC Fight Night St. Louis in January, when she made her debut in the flyweight division.
VanZant originally had surgery to insert a plate and seven screws into her arm, but the procedure was not successful in fixing the problem.
In Thursday’s procedure, doctors took bone fragments from VanZant’s hip and inserted them into her arm.
The surgery, which took place in Las Vegas, took four hours to complete.
