Rare Video Shows Another Fighter Added to Unfortunate Conor McGregor Led List in Record Time; Fans React

Conor McGregor suffered one of the most horrific injuries in MMA at UFC 264. At the end of the first round of his bout against Dustin Poirier, the Irishman’s leg suffered a clean break. However, McGregor’s leg break is only one among many such horrific injuries in MMA.

A leg kick is an important weapon in a mixed martial artist’s arsenal. There are many variations of the leg kick, each of them as effective as the next. However, while throwing them, a fighter runs the risk of injuring himself in the process.

Fans react to a clip of McGregor-like leg break

Conor McGregor is not the only famous fighter whose leg snapped in the UFC octagon. MMA legend Anderson Silva snapped his leg against the shin of Chris Weidman at UFC 168. As coincidence would have it, Weidman himself suffered the same injury at UFC  261 years later.

Recently, a fan shared a clip of a similar leg break. The horrific injury happened after a clash of legs during the very first exchange of the fight.

Seeing the similarities in the injuries, one fan suggested McGregor’s doctor for the injured fighter.

One fan observed the fighter’s taped leg and suspected a pre-existing injury.

Another fan responded along the same lines.

One fan wrote how he expected a KO and not the unfortunate ending that occurred.

Similarly, another fan expressed shock at what unfolded.

One fan observed the difference between dramatic oversells in soccer and how the injured fighter showed less agony.

One fan made a surprising observation about the fighters involved in the bizarre injury.

On a side note, this clip further disproved an inaccurate claim that Conor McGregor made recently. The former double champion has been under suspicion for the use of PEDs to improve the rate of his recovery.

Conor McGregor made a mistaken claim about leg breaks

During a recent Twitter rant, Conor McGregor claimed that only he, Anderson Silva, and Chris Weidman knew the severity of the common injury they suffered. However, the facts disagree with McGregor. The aforementioned three are the most famous cases of leg breaks in the UFC, but several fighters have suffered the same.

A similar leg break happened at UFC: Fight for the Troops in 2008. Corey Hill suffered a disgusting leg break less than a minute into his fight against Dale Hartt. In the same year, late UFC fighter Brian Gassaway saw his opponent José Landi Jons suffer a leg break at TKO 32: Ultimatum.

One of the most infamous horrific leg injuries you will ever see happened outside the UFC. At Cage Quest 1, Justin Lee Fowler slammed opponent Brian Jones Jr. causing his leg to implode. While the other injuries happened near the shin, this one looked closer to the knee.
