We’ve seen some nasty leg breaks over the course of MMA historical past. Anderson Silva, Conor McGregor and Chris Weidman all come to thoughts from the UFC, however this is likely to be extra ugly than all of them.
An newbie bout on Saturday’s Full Contact Combating Federation “Rumble on the Roseland 120” occasion at Roseland Theater in Portland resulted in catastrophe when JR Bunn snapped his leg in scary vogue in his 130-pound matchup with Jason Shaner.
Bunn got here out of the gate throwing heavy excessive kicks and low kicks. He threw a robust proper leg kick that was checked by Shaner, and the shin snapped. Bunn tries to step again and immediately collapsed to the canvas, the place the combat was waved off moments after it started.
UFC bantamweight Ricky Simon was in attendance on the occasion and captured the ultimate sequence, which you’ll watch under at your individual peril (by way of X):

It’s by no means good to see a fighter maintain this sort of harm, but it surely’s much more unlucky for Bunn, who’s simply getting his profession began after successful his newbie debut in February with a 24-second TKO win.
