Not too long ago former UFC heavyweight champion, Kevin Randleman, was the clear-cut winner when it came to the most gruesome-looking staph infection.
Well, I’m nauseated to report that “The Monster” could have some competition thanks to grapefruit-sized lesion that recently grew in the hamstring area of Drew McFedries.
Check out the gore after the jump if you dare. Both fighters, for what it’s worth, made full recoveries.
I, however, have not.
Note that McFedries is on the left and Randleman is on the right (it was located just under his armpit.)

looks like something from night of the living dead. gross!
1st BABY!!!
YUK. Looks like the monster’s got a built in ash tray
OK 2nd ha ha
disgusting.
maybee those 2 can fight each other in a special steph fight. winner gets a bar of that special soap that kilss steph and ringworm.
Is it bad that I became hungry after seeing that?
haha! now thats awesome…. i meant aweful…haha
staph infection is no joke.. you could die from that. i got once durning my whole wrestling career. it has nothing to do with showering.
i meant no offense, but it did say they both recovered from it. it comes from dirty matts sometimes right, all the sweating and germs. their is a special soap that i see in ads in all the mma magazines that kills the germs leading to steph and ringworm, so i would say showering would have a big deal to do w/ it right?
That is nasty.
how does a staph infection happen???
Ouch, looks like it is painful AND ITCHY !!!
In teens, most staph infections are minor skin infections. People with skin problems like burns or eczema may be more likely to get staph skin infections.
People can get staph infections from contaminated objects, but staph bacteria often spread through skin-to-skin contact — the bacteria can be spread from one area of the body to another if someone touches the infected area.
Staph infections can spread from person to person among those who live close together in group situations (such as in college dorms). Usually this happens when people with skin infections share things like bed linens, towels, or clothing. Warm, humid environments can contribute to staph infections, so excessive sweating can increase someone’s chances of developing an infection.
Although it’s very rare, infections caused by S. aureus can occasionally become serious. This happens when the bacteria move from a break in the skin into the bloodstream. This can lead to infections in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, bones, joints, heart, blood, and central nervous system.
Staph infections in other parts of the body are less common than staph skin infections. They are more likely in people whose immune systems have been weakened by another disease — or by certain medications, like chemotherapy for cancer.
Occasionally patients having surgery may get more serious types of staph infections. The good news is that hospital staff take many precautions to avoid infection in someone having surgery. That’s why they carefully clean the area being operated on, use sterile equipment, and sometimes give a person antibiotics.
much better explanation than mine.
I just read what you had wriiten about staph infection. My Dad had a quad bypass and pig valve put in August 15, 2008. Two and a half weeks later they found staph insid the incision. The out side incision looked great. He has had to go in 5 times to be cleaned out and was suppose to have his chest cavity closed yesterday (sternum) only to find out that they could not. Soo they made a flap to close the chest cavity. They did have to cut away some dead bone that they are saying could have been staph. I don’t feel like we are getting all answers we need. He is very sick. Is it true that if it gets to the bone he can die from this and his organs may go septic?
Old pics, but anyone training should read into it. Wash clothes and overall be careful to shower in sanitary conditions as well as to be sure mats are wiped clean too. My younger brother was in the hospital for 15 days this winter after his elbow swelled to twice the size of his knee. Small cut + sommeone rubbing up against it with staph “bug” = bad luck. Good job keeping everyone informed and safe
My brother got it in a basketball game, not training.
Dude couldn’t train any more becuase his opponent’s hand keep getting stuck in the hole.
How could it get that bad without the person getting help? If an itch stays in my armpit for more that a week, I’m going to the doctor!! A HOLE under my arm and I’m starting to think I may need a specialist!?!?! That is scary!!!
I used to have to clean the mats in the steamer (wrestling) when I was a rookie, then later when it seemed like I was the only one who gave a hoot. There were these tablets that dissolved in the mop bucket that killed EVERYTHING…(except the basketball players we used to drag in there and pummell from time to time)…..
the one on the right turns me on. i think i know her.
lol lol lol
Brother had MRSA. i guess it’s no joke. got it from a gym he went to. Took dr’s forever to diagnos him. long hospital stay, too.
The Monster won this battle.
ya its bad i make sure i shower in the hottet water and i use a soap that kills these germs every time i get done training. its better to be safe then end up with a hole in your body
Too bad they didn’t have pictures of Staph-en Bonnar!
PUN INTENDED!
How the heck do they get this big without getting treated?? How does someone not know that this is happening to them? What is the timeline for this to occur?
I had a staph infection on my elbow and it started to spread in about a week’s time. I got it treated with antibiotics and that was it.
I still don’t understand how it can get this crazy without them seeking treatment much earlier.
Someone please provide some answers. Thanks.
thats the same thing I was thinking , if I feel an itch for more than 2 days in a part of my body I go to Dr. but, since ive been training everytime i feel something I assume its staph so I dont think I will ever have it this bad but, damn how can someone not now before it gets to that point i mean does it go from point “A” to point “Z” overnight or what????
look like a ol’ rotten watermelon… for any country folk out there.
Wow, that’s crazy! It’s hard to believe they let it get so bad.
Damn, looks like a shark bite!
Fuck, take a shower once and a while ( i dont care what you guys say, being clean = no infections ) Bet his grill is screwed to because if he aint taking showers, he aint brushing his teeth. . . Like Joe Stevensons previous cut to the head via Penn “THAT IS NASTY!” HhhhhhAaaaaa!
lol, thats funny because its true.
“being clean = no infections”…
‘well not in all cases, but most the time..especially staph infections.
They start as pimple looking things..So if you have little pimple things on your body..Dont pop it!
I remember years back in school, after a Judo class (I don’t do Judo I was merely watching) the instructor went mad at some people who hadn’t cleaned their mats. I didn’t really understand at the time and didn’t know what the big deal was.
Staph is nasty.
I’m such a tool for saying “First”. I should kick myself in the balls over and over again.
one word…….Nasty!
EWWWWWWWWW. how do you get that?
nasty , never seen mcfederies,s yet.
looks like a pizza
wow….I’ve heard bout them, but I always imagined staph being closer to sup-ereczema, making a painful, dry scaly patch that ripped and wouldn’t stretch.
But that’s awful! Looks more like necrotizing fasciitis…..(flesh eating bacteria)
Makes me give a bit more credence to Diego Sanchez’s claims of being hit hard for the Kos fight….he’s still a douche though
it actually is extremely painful. i just got over one myself, so i can speak from experience. mine never reached that level, thank god, but it was pretty damn bad. and it looks like they had MRSA, the flesh eating and antibiotic resistant form of staff infections.
