Bobby Knuckle's jaw: not a dislocation but bilateral parasymphyseal fractures

[Darragh]

Here is the pic DC showed on his phone:


The two midline frontal incisors and the right paracentral incisor of the mandible (teeth #24-26) have been fractured and separated from the remainder of the mandible. The posterior displacement suggests that he had to be rushed to the hospital because he was at risk of losing his airway (ie. suffocating because the broken jaw piece would block his oropharynx)

Here is a similar picture from the web:



And an x-ray of a more simple mandibular fracture:
The mandible tends to fracture in two places (like a lifesaver or a polo mint) because it is a bony ring:



It is the same type of injury that Kanye West suffered after his car accident, causing him to have his jaw wired shut and write his first hit single "Through the Wire".

This is probably what will happen to Rob (not the hit single and marrying a Kardashian, having his jaw wired shut). Khamzat literally crushed his jaw into three pieces like a lifesaver and with the force of a motor vehicle accident. I don't think Bobby will ever be the same.

Edit: As someone pointed out later in this thread, it may be an alveolar ridge fracture, not necessarily transcortical as I described above. This would mean a quicker return to baseline for Bobby. Still a devastating injury though.

Yikes. Could this be a career ender?

 

[Morning Star]

That’s just hard to look at. Fuck.

He changed his face.

Whittaker seemed a bit overconfident before this fight. Not only did he call for the Khamzat fight. He was convinced that he would knock him out. Said it in a few interviews.

Brutal bro


I wish that upon no man

Yes.

Aliskerov sold him a false sense of superiority

Khamzat had a case of COVID a few years ago that was so bad his doctors thought he had lung cancer. If someone can survive his early onslaught and take him into the later rounds, that's the only chance -- but it will have to be someone with early JDS or Chuck level take down defense. So far, they've come up with an unsolvable equation. Let's see how DDP does with the fight algebra.

I saw a picture really similar to that fairly recently, but I cannot for the life of me recall which fight it was from... definitely a UFC fight probably in the last year?

Basically, bottom front teeth separated from the rest just like that.

I like some of these made up words, though, good imagination!

sorry to be serious, but is OP really bullshit?

If so - not cool.

 

[ctelooming]

Wow. That is a brutal injury and could be a career ender. Chimaev must have some insane grip strength. He almost looks skinny when I see him in the cage but he seems to always ragdoll guys when he's fresh

 

[Pierced7681]

Yikes. Could this be a career ender?

I’d say so. Even if he does come back he’ll always have this injury in the back of his mind.

The exact same thing happened to my dog when he was chewing on a giant ham bone from Christmas dinner and then my other dog came over and yanked it outta his mouth with his teeth sunk into it, exact same gruesome injury occurred
He didnt even care though, he kept right on chewing bones with a broke jaw like it didnt even hurt

 

[Wreckless]

Btw what the hell was DC doing in there taking a picture with his phone. Trying to sell the next promo for Khamzat?

 

[Söze Aldo]

One of the few cases where someone's jaw litterally gets cracked. Don't know how he'll be able to take a punch again without that thing opening back-up.

I'm a surgeon and take care of fighters and professional athletes as part of my job.

Also, pretty sure that Orolbai fought through an orbital blowout fracture in the prelims. Tough dude.

Are you a maxillofacial surgeon?

 

[markantony20]

Jesus that is awful

 

[lweiberg]

Great writeup, Op!

Would like to see Khamzat crush a watermelon a la Askren.

And crush a bat while he's at it.
