Fighters who dominated with injuries?

Tito dominated all his title defenses with a cracked skull
 
Jon Jones embedded Chael Sonnen's head into the canvas with his toe barely hanging onto his foot
 
RDA beat the shit out of Pettis for 5 rounds with a tear in his knee
 
Aldo broke his foot against KZ but still managed to win, although KZ dislocated his shoulder
 
Rich Franklin knocked out Chuck Liddell with a broken arm and Randy Couture TKO'd Gonzaga with a broken arm
 
McGregor against both Mendes and Aldo
 
all of mayhem miller's wins despite being born in a cuckoo's nest
 
Rich Franklin knocked out Chuck Liddell with a broken arm

came to post this

also forrest had his arm broken against edson paredao in one of his pre-ufc fights snd knocked the guy out with the other one
 
Faber lost a close desision to Mike Thomas Brown with two broken hands. He did pretty damn well throwing elbows and showed lots of heart. Not a fan of his by any means, it's just the first thing that came to mind.
 
Sherk beating up Florian while bleeding everywhere. It's all I can think of atm.
 
Georges St-Pierre tore his groin against Thiago Alves.

Greg Jackson didn't give a fuck and told him to hit Alves with his groin because that's how champions are made. Love it.
 
Every injury is different and some are debilitating. If you have a broken leg like A. Silva it does not matter how much you can handle pain it won't help you.
There are a lot of fighters who will fight through pain, however, it depends on their style of fighting and the type of injury. A grappling expert won't be handicapped by a broken hand in the same way as a striker. A more meaningful question is to ask who has a record of putting a good fight despite an injury. In this regard, Wanderlei Silva is one of the best in my opinion. He got hurt quite a few times in his fights but always fought to win.
 
McGregor beat Holloway after tearing his acl.
