Corey Hill -- the UFC fighter whose lower leg was brutally and cleanly broken in a match Wednesday night -- is out of surgery to repair the break, and he's going to be out of commission for up to a year and a half.

Hill's trainer told TMZ last night Corey suffered a compound fracture -- ya think? -- and UFC.com reports he's with his fam at Cape Fear Valley Med Center in NC and in "good spirits" after suffering the horrible injury.
