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 perhaps extra grotesque 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 led to catastrophe when JR Bunn snapped his leg in scary style 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 struggle 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 beneath at your personal peril (by way of X):

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