If you didn't see it happen live it's just not the same.

Idk, it's definitely bad but isn't making me squirm like Corey Hill, Anderson, Teh Chris

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Why didn't he get up and walk it off

 

[Moonwalker95]

Ehhhh seen worse

Done worse to others too
Ish ish

I’d rather a straight fracture of the bone than complete destruction of all the ligaments in my knee I think

 

[Sir Punchalot]

Doesn't look nice, but I don't know why he needed to be a pussy about it and not finish the fight. Have a little respect for the fans who have paid good money for those tickets.

Yeah, WTF. Kids these days.

 

[treelo]

fucking idiot who kept punching him when it was clear it was over

fat prick

 

[mahavishnunj]

He fucked it up on that first takedown, then totally destroyed it on the 2nd one.

Strictly talking gut reaction of seeing it. This one was like oh damn, that looks nasty. The 3 I mentioned just make me want to puke.

And straight fractures do tend to be easier recovery than major ligament and tissue damage, but the breaks that come thru the skin can get pretty gruesome.

I've seen two in real life, both at skateparks back in the day. Those dudes never came back.

 

[HaulParris]

Definitely not for the painted heart, for all intensive purposes.

Hopefully the dude can recover full function.

I've only witnessed it once (although seen many other breaks and nasty injuries), wasn't even my bone and still put me into some weird state of shock/laser focus until medics arrived. Dude damn near lost his leg like 3 different times during recovery due to infections. The wound from a broken bone coming thru skin is just nasty, prime for infection.

I think Corey Hill probably got me worst. His was the first I saw happen mid fight, and iirc he goes to step back on that foot but all that's there is the broken stump of his shin... chills just thinking about it lol

It’s a brutal sport. Hopefully I never learn first hand what’s worse

 

[GreenGorilla]

For those saying its not that bad watch it back slowly, that is not a straight break, his whole leg bent sidewards starting under the knee.
Probably wont come back from that.

Truth

I feel like I should say - I'm not trying to be like "this potential career ending injury is worse than that..." - they're all fucking brutal and I pity the guys equally. It's sad.

I'm 100% just talking about ick-factor, entirely subjective. Something about those 3 kick breaks just make me squirm.
