His leg was like an uncooked spaghetti stick that got snapped in half, and then turned into a wet noodle


Edit: You know the ref is bad when Joe Rogan had to yell at the ref to stop the fight

"Muscles are pretty much useless for fighters"?! I think you mean bulk, right?
Also, height is NOT king when it comes to grappling, although it's awesome for striking!

punching power doesn't depend on muscles and muscles are pretty much useless for fighters. Tommy Hearns - 6'1" 147lb boxer who was one of the hardest punchers in history. In any striking combat sport (muay thai, boxing) I'll take a super skinny tall guy over a normal sized guy any DAY OF THE WEEK

Check out Yoshiro Sato in K-1 MAX http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap3qS6qSMl8 he's also ridiculously skinny/tall and knocks fools out. Height is king. Remember that.

Things of course are a bit different in MMA and muscular strength DOES matter in wrestling but even still, being short is a disadvantage (Sean sherk - too short for 170, Thiago Alves - too short for 185)


Fighters in general are skinny guys - they've only gotten buff in recent years because a lot of the guys who fight in UFC are wrestlers. It's always funny to think how in America we equate muscles = toughness.

Muscles are useless for fighters? What the hell!?

Thats the weirdest thing I've heard anyone say in a loooong time.

A fighters muscles are to a soldier's weapons.


Muscles provide everything you need for a fight, strength, speed, explosive power, and the list goes on.

I'd seen the pics. The vid was hard to watch. Breaking a leg is not fun.

He's going to be messed up pretty good for a while... might be a long time before he fights again.
