When will it end? We have another leg break in MMA. On first glance it may seem like nothing but a jarred knee but on closer inspection we notice that Adrian Cruz’s (pictured above) leg actually bends under his own bodyweight.
It is incredible that he didn’t stop the fight there and then but must have drew inspiration from Tim Sylvia on what to do if you break a bone during a fight. Unlike the Russian fighter that broke his leg and still won, this fight ended after just 22 seconds and Justin Linn was awarded the TKO victory.
