Jamie Varner sustained fractures in his right hand and foot in his most recent fight against Kamal Shalorus, but he won’t sit on the bench for long.

That’s according to a source from Varner’s management firm, KOReps.com, who today informed MMAjunkie.com that the former WEC lightweight champion will wear splints for the injuries for “a few weeks,” though they are “nothing serious.”

Shalorus also injured his hand during the main-event fight, which went to a bizarre split draw at WEC 49.
