I don't know which is worse. Seeing the shin break on contact, or when the fighter steps back and puts their weight on it. If I had to choose, I'd say Brendan Schaub's comedy.
Interesting how Silva, like Conor, snapped his leg in a rematch after getting KO'd by the guy he's fighting. Also interesting how Weidman eventually snapped his leg as well. I mean what are the chances? I mean it would be insane if Porier snaps his leg at some point.
I will always remember when Willis McGahee had his knee bent the wrong way on a tackle. I was watching the game live and it was the first time i had seen an injury like that in slow motion. His knee bent almost 45 degrees the opposite direction, at full speed. Brutal.
@Thizlamic I saw a similar shin injury in high school while playing. It sounded like someone smacked 2 blocks of wood together really hard. I'll never forget that.
Jared such a smart and kind soul but one of the most badass and technical fighters out there. Let alone him still doing this at almost 40 years of age !
The low kick style where the shin moves in an almost straight line to the opponent's thigh is fast, but - if checked - carries the risk of the weakest part of your shin (above the foot) hitting the toughest part of your opponent's shin (below the knee). The other low kick style follows a chopping motion and has the downside of being too telegraphed, but doesn't carry the same risk of injury if checked.
Every single person who has split their leg like that has come out and said they thought they had shin splints but after the fact it's diagnosed as stress fractures leading to the break. When you train low kicks hard to condition the shin bone after never having done it before, stress fractures appear. If you do not let them rest and heal all the way they never heal. It's basically really bad shin splints but the fractures are not superficial like splints they penetrate deep into the bone. Shin splints are caused by impacts on hard surfaces being too much for the shins and they get very very minor stress fractures that go in all different directions. With low kick training they inspected the break of widman and his stress fractures were all in one direction, the direction in which he had been training low kicks and check. So there is a direct link to over training of hard kicks and these stress fractures. It only take one misplaced check to start the process. It can easily be mistaken as regular shin splints. Every person I've seen with this break has said they had shin splints before it broke. But infact they were deep deep stress fractures from overtraining and not enough recovery. I was interested to see why it kept happening and this is the Theory of a lot of experts in the field like surgeons for sport injuries etc. The forces your hips make in that low kick style is huge and easily enough to start a cycle to stress fractures. Then when fight night comes and they take the brakes off and they go all out power wise.....we see the shin finally let go from the stress fractures. It's never fun to watch but something I think should be looked into. Maybe we bring in some pads for the shins to protect them from these injuries and preventing the bone on bone contact? Doesn't need to be much just enough so it doesn't stress the shin bone to the point of failure. Just my 2 cents
A teammate and I hit a running back from both sides and broke his collar bone. Could hear it over everything. The kid was crying, and his mom cussed at us after the game.
there must be a specific reason why Thai fighters rarely get their tibia broken (or rather, a set of specific reasons). I am sure it goes beyond "conditioning" and nutrition, and has more to do with TECHNIQUE (timing, angle and distance both when throwing the kick with full force and when blocking, etc ). It is VERY needed that someone collects all of those and make an educational video for westeners
Maybe they're kicking closer to their ankle with a slight angle at their knee to allow for more shock absorption. Instead of a straight leg kick right in the middle of the tibia.
The reason is because Thai fighters kick in a downward motion when throwing calf kicks and leg kicks, which makes the risk of breaking your shin much lower, when you kick in an upward motion at someone’s leg and they check it, your shin wraps around their leg and that’s what causes it to snap
I absolutely love that if you are a longtime ufc fighter and come out of a fight with an incredible performance, Joe will almost certainly have you on the show.
jimmy crutes injury looked quite nasty too there has been so many but by far the one that looked the worse too me was the anderson silva one that is still disgusting to watch til this day
@@ngatiwarrior6975 It did but he transferred his weight to his good leg and dropped himself before doing to much damage internally whereas Chris fully relied on that leg after the break causing it to need multiple surgeries the stand fragmented the bone and caused serious lacerations
@@NemesisGrowz lmao your completely wrong, you know Chris has a channel which shows everything ? He only needed 2 surgeries, the second surgery was because his febula wasn't healing like it should and needed an extra plate to mend better, nothing to do with muscle tissue, lacerations or anything, crazy how you can talk nonsense and not think you'd get called up on it.
With a lot of people's businesses, health and no injuries are everything, it is their business. And as a juggler, I had my arm broken by a hit and run car last year, and I was out the game for at least two months, but to this day I'm street performing making my dough even though I still have a lot of haters, I keep it pushing.
*Cannonier is one of my favorite fighters outside of the cage. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy his fights, but I find his thoughts and perspective fascinating.*
I feel like at least a part of him has to have felt bad for Silva when he fought him after seeing Anderson laying on the ground wincing in pain. These are the types of injuries that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, effing brutal.
I had to look up the arm break. I'm not really into the fighting side of it, I'm sometimes amused at the drama from the fighters, commentators, owner for that matter. It was absolutely brutal, his whole upper arm bruised up immediately. Then, I saw a short of a spiral fracture, 😮
@@samp6162 The spiral fracture of the humerus was about the Mir vs Nogueira fight. It's absolutely brutal and Rogan's comment, something like "that was horrible! Horrible!". And just tap! Was about that fight. That's what I looked at anyway. I then saw the the guy who broke the arm (I think Mir but not 100% but I think so) talk about it and said that he didn't think he destroyed his whole upper arm.
There was a horrific injury to a female ufc fighter just the other week where she fell back stuck her arm out and forearm snapped completely backwards from her elbow haven't seen that before don't want to see it again 😱
I would’ve loved to see Tyrone Spong forget about fighting at heavyweight and come down and give it a go boxing at Bridgerweight , I think he would’ve done excellently.
I always kinda thought Jared was a typical meathead jock who played football, wrestled or whatever before he started mma, but I was dead wrong and surprisingly he's an intellectual too 😂. I really like when the best fighters in the world are just normal nerds who went on to do amazing things!! That's way more inspiring than seeing some guy who was a super athlete from age 5 become a champ or a star....... bc that gives the rest of us normies hope! 🤞🤞 If the Strickland fight doesn't work out then hopefully Jared gets the next crack at Izzy and the belt 😁✌️
Worst sporting injury I've ever seen was David Buust. He played football (soccer) for Coventry. During a match between Manchester United and Coventry, he got hit with two nasty sliding tackles simultaneously, his shin literally got bent into a u shape.
@@marcoeire44 bruh 100 years ago antibiotics did not exist… getting an infection meant having your limb amputated and in most cases people didn’t survive…
Someone that isn't familiar with bjj might not know it's time to tap. Some people have a high pain tolerance so they might not sense danger until it's too late. But otherwise, yes, tap if you know you should.
Wouldn't say Silva really came back. Sure he fought but he's nothing compared to what he was before that the leg break slowed him right now he lost all his movement. You still can't beat Rich Franklin breaking his arm while fighting Chuck and then went and knocked Chuck out
crazy sport, you just cannot let the fear of a leg snap slow down your kicks, you just gotta say F it and pretend it's not something that will ever happen to you, doesn't matter how good your technique is, you get tired and sloppy and your opponent moves and that leg can snap, some of the nastiest breaks though were tate getting her arm torn up by ronda, those leg locks by ken shamrock and that lunatic palhares (snapping knees and ankles) and when silvia got his arm snapped by munson and Timur was killing it with his leg kicks the other night on Ultimate Fighter..terrible judging, the guy clearly won
Idk if the dream would always happen when the bone healing goes on, haven’t broken that many, or heard others really say much Idk if others would be paying attention/ watching closely enough to notice?? Idk I wouldn’t say it’s significant enough to really talk story about, more on par with lucid, but strange like it made me wonder if there could be continuity there to something extra(separate from the day) It could also just be some primal don’t give up shit like a cookie, saying there’s more or just the healing coupled with the change in rhythm from being down a limb … long time ago tho, but the bones were weird for me, I’d just roll over and return like the same place every night, weird time, not very abstract either.
When traditional martial artists train on the wooden trees and such, doesn't it cause some micro cracking in the bone that eventually leads to calcium buildup and hardening that might help prevent these sort of injuries?
Horrific leg breaks, that's fk all, try losing a leg above the knee, physically one can never get back to full health, a break of a bone is just a break and heals and you're on your way again in most cases, try living with one leg as I've done for the last decade, it's not easy, a true test of character... hey, did you know, apparently, according to the staff in our UK government in the DWP who deal with disability benefits, they believe us humans can regrow limbs lol.. I don't lie lol... the US isn't the only bat sh@t crazy place...
