Monday night, in Patong stadium a young Muay Thai fighter lost a fight after his skull was fractured by an elbow, and now the photos have gone viral.
We literally know nothing about who inflicted this potential career ender on the young man, all we know is he recently entered surgery to hopefully repair the damage done.
In MMA we’ve seen another similar injury, and it happened in the Bellator cage when Michael Venom Page cracked Evangelista Cyborg (The guy) with a nasty knee, ending their bout. (Video above) Though the injury took place nearly eighteen months ago, the Brazilian has yet to return to action.
Muay Thai’s own Jonny Betts posted the following on this latest viral sporting injury:
