definition of serious is subjective

He was already throwing the second punch when the ref grabbed him

On topic, I remember hearing DW say that Corey Hill's leg was the most serious injury in the UFC.

Serious injury = life threatening or permanent nerve damage ala broken back, broken neck, ect



Corey Hill made a full recovery in what, 12 months tops?

Nog's arm break was harder to watch than that imo

A broken leg (fractured tibia) actually does have potentially life threatening complication of fatty embolism, however the incidence is pretty low like <1%. But still, there is a chance you can die from it.

technically there's a chance you can die from any bone break

Thank you House for teaching me everything I know about medicine!

It wasn't a life-threaten injury nor career ending. Many fighters fought with broken hands all the time and Corey had broken leg big deal.

Yes, it was serious. How anyone in this thread can disagree with that is mind-boggling. Dude's fucking lower leg was split in half.

Dana didn't mean to use the word serious. I understood Dana to be referring to injuries that would be considered life-threatening. Had he remembered Corey Hill, he would have chosen a better word.
