Few fighter injuries are as gut wrenching to watch, undoubtedly also to feel, as when a mixed martial artist suffers a broken leg. Anderson Silva’s infamous leg break will likely echo through MMA for years to come.
Now, it would appear that mixed martial artist Siquera has suffered a similar fate to that of the former UFC middleweight champion. Siquera can be seen in the video below going in for a leg kick to his opponent.
However, the mixed martial artist’s opponent checks the strike. Following the check, Siquera’s leg simply buckled under the pressure and folded under Siquera as he moved to his back foot.
The fighter’s leg can be seen torquing in an abnormal direction under Siquera’s weight, causing a gut wrenching sight of pain. A clip of the incident may be found below.
