Fans express their utter disbelief at the freak injury during the PFL PPV opener

During the PFL Champions Series, Haider Khan delivered a thunderous kick to Mostafa Nada’s midsection. Nada instinctively raised his left arm to block the strike, but the sheer force caused his arm to snap, bending in an unnatural direction. Remarkably, the fighter from Saudi Arabia showed incredible grit, signaling to the referee that he could continue despite the gruesome injury. His arm, however, was visibly twisted—eerily reminiscent of Harry Potter’s infamous Quidditch accident in The Chamber of Secrets.

Fans were quick to react to the shocking moment, expressing both concern for Nada and awe at Khan’s devastating kick. Comments poured in, with one saying, “Bro is made of rubber,” and another adding, “Not a fun recovery for that.” Khan’s kick also received praise, with one follower noting, “What a powerful kick.”

Despite the severity of his injury, Nada displayed remarkable composure, calmly informing the referee that his arm was broken. The fight was immediately stopped, awarding Khan a TKO victory and extending his winning streak to five. Khan’s celebration drew mixed reactions. While some praised his performance, others criticized the timing of his reaction.

One fan said, “Good start to a great day of fights. Gnarly injury,” while another remarked, “THE KICK BROKE HIS ARM.” However, not everyone was impressed, with one follower stating, “Ridiculous celebration for winning in such a manner. Freak accident. Wasn’t a skill win. Chill out.”
