Sickening scenes as ‘worst leg break in MMA history’ leaves athlete screaming and opponent in tears
THIS is the sickening moment that an athlete suffered what’s being called ‘the worst leg break in MMA history’.
Fighter Dylan Reischman was taking on Jaime Mora on Saturday at Combat Global: Ferreira vs. Morales when he sustained the horrific injury.
The 21-year-old attempted to defend a takedown midway through the second round as Mora hoisted him aloft and then tried to drive him to the mat.
That was when the American featherweight’s left leg got caught at an awkward angle underneath the two bodies and loudly snapped in half.
Reischman started screaming and immediately drew the referee’s attention to the injury before the official immediately ended the fight.
An emotional Mora put his head in his hands, while footage showed the bone in his opponent’s leg nearly piercing through the top of his knee.
MMA fans were left in a state of shock after that horrific incident in the octagon.
One fan tweeted: “Worst leg break in MMA history I think YES.”
Another commented: “Seeing this ruined my whole night.”
A third posted: “OMG the sound of his leg snapping.”
This fan said: “Almost pierced through!!!!”
And that one stated: “DEAR LORD.”
Reischman is a jiu-jitsu brown belt from North Carolina who was 3-1 as an amateur.
