Grigoriy Ponomarev once had two working legs. Now he doesn't.

Pretty sure I saw a Gumby strike at the end there with the floppy leg and hand assist.

Was it as bad or worse than Chris Weidman's leg break?

To me, worse. This one's career-ending in my eyes.

Thanks for the warning. I think I'll pass on seeing this one then.

 

[ChimRichalds]

Yeah, that's gotta be the worst leg break I've seen. Kinda wish I hadn't, tbh.

Describe it

leg went sideways at the knee like a swastika

in any case, i can't help but thinking the weight cut didn't help. complete bullshit for heavyweight professional fighters to have to cut to 265

 

[TCE]

Damn, that was brutal. Definitely the worst leg break I've seen.

 

[colorles]

such a bad feeling after an injury. doesn't matter how big and strong you are; injuries happen fast and you feel so weak and helpless afterwards. that hits harder than the pain

 

[Bobby Boulders]

A lot of weight to come down awkwardly like that. Wish that poor man well.

Way way worse. In Weidman case it was just the tibia and what's around it. In this one his knee is shattered. Like shattered. He needs the best ever surgeons and physiotherapists ever if he wants to walk again in 2 or 3 years

 

[Deleted member 592822]

That's why I stopped grappling completely and only train striking. I broke my arm in BJJ 3 months ago and it made me realize that :

Grappling is way way way worse for your body.

Striking you only have some breaker nose or orbitals at worse. Maybe teeth. But grappling you can destroy your joints beyond repair. No thanks I'll pass

Jesus. That's terrible. I feel for the guy. I couldnt get the sound of the shotgun blast that was Chris Weidman's leg breaking out of my head for weeks, so I'ma go ahead and skip this one!

 

[warriorfan808]

Crazy how Mukhomad didn't back off. I guess he was in the moment or some shit. That break is fucking nasty

 

[HaulParris]

Devastating

Describe it

Vivid evidence of pain, but no gore per se.
The Cro Cop leg bend when he lost to Gonzaga looked worse.
