saw a dude get his arm broke at an mma fight last night

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

my buddy had a fight last night (he won by triangle 3rd round) and i got a bit of ogrish irl.

the fight that immediatley followed my buddies seemed normal enough. one dude caught the other off guard and fed him a little ground n pound until the ref stopped it. the dude was dancing around the ring and all seemed normal.

then the other guy sat up and his arm was completely bent the wrong way. its like it was bent to say hello only the elbow was actually facing up. my girlfriend, as well as many other women (and a fair amount of men), let out a terrible shril scream and the whole thing was a bit sureal from the stands. im not even sure what happened. his opponent didnt even go for any submissions ... im guessing he broke it on the way down or maybe against the cage.

to the dude's credit he got up and walked out of the ring on his own. i dont care what happened during the fight ... thats ****in hardcore.

even better .... he was sitting 3 benches down from us after his fight. suzi pointed him out to me :)

dude ... we may need to hook up for some beers or something after the next one.

[PangQuan]

i think the crazy thing is he goes down, breaks the arm, THEN tries to use it to defend against a ground pounding.

thats pain control.

I didn't take the footage. Saw this thread on the UG which had videos:

http://www.mma.tv/tuf/index.cfm?ac=ListMessages&PID=1&TID=825276&FID=1

I see now that the ones on youtube were 1st round clips. My fight ended in the 3rd round.

I can give you a synapsis of my fight though..

1st round: I came out fast and aggressive, probably too agressive for my own good as my forward pressure set myself up for a clean dbl. leg even after I had hit with the jab. We hit the ground in my closed guard and he was working ground and pound and I was attacking with armbars and sweeps.

2nd round I came out again and I saw his hands were low so I again came forward and hit him with a combo that nearly knocks him out. To his credit he shoots and even though i block and threw a knee he keeps pursuing and forces me into the cage and gets the takedown and the time to recover. more G&P and guard work. I was taking some shots in the guard but nothing that really hurt. I was still in the fight and looking for my opening.

3rd round He immediately shoots I sprawl and he continues to drive to complete the takedown. (Mark was a state champion wrestler and a divIII national champion. if it's one thing he did well it was takedowns.) I'm working from my guard again still trying to set up an attack and he avoids the armbar. He drives forward on his knees and gets me against the cage. (I had been able to spin off the cage earlier) but this time he goes for a can opener guard pass/submission and his stack was perfect. my knees were on my chest and I could not raise my hips to space. I had two choices either abandon my guard and he take the mount and can really hit with power or fight off the neck crank and attack the arm. I chose the later and unfortunately for me his hold was strong. I tapped at 1:25 in the 3rd.

I'm a bit disapointed by my loss mostly because of the mental mistake that I made. I should have been more conservative and patient in my striking and used the motion to avoid the shot. my agression fed into his shot. Afterwards he told me that he saw me warming up in the prep area and he knew there was no way in hell that he was going to stand toe to toe with me and that he thought my right cross nearly put him out.. but it didn't. He was a better man that night and I'm just ready for the next fight. I also got to see what was working correctly and I'll keep doing those things for the future.

If there isn't a chance that you're going to lose in a fight, than you're not fighting tough enough competition.
