Herman also replied to Maui’s Kendall Grove on Instagram explaining the unfortunate accident saying, “I released the wrong lever replacing my well pump and I tried to hang on to it like a dumb ass it sucked my hand down in to the well head lucky it didn’t take my whole hand.”

If you saw Herman’s post of his injured finger on Instagram and have not seen the photo posted of the nasty injury on his Twitter account, the UFC light heavyweight gave everyone a much more gruesome look at his injury.
