There were 2 gross leg breaks in the NFL this year. (There were probably more)

Alex Smith. For a while they weren't sure if he would loose his foot or not.

If you're going to get annoyed about putting sport in quotation marks when it comes to "mma" you should probably get similarly annoyed when people do the same thing with overwatch or the NBA video game league, considering both of those now get more unironic coverage in major sports magazines such as Sports Illustrated than the boring-town UFC does

e: this is a poll of sports industry people that appeared in the actual print magazine, random regular people were not allowed to vote in this. also it was taken during overwatch's off-season

EDIT ^^^ the aftermath was absolutely tragic, but that fight was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I was in tears, it was just so bad


We’re gonna see more and more of this kind of poo poo as dinosaur fighters from the Pride or early UFC era refuse to loving retire.

I’m surprised it hasn’t happened more to heavyweights like Mark Hunt and Roy Nelson, who absorb a billion hits per fight because they are basically tanks

Roy Nelson owns, and has the ultimate fighting technique: knock down your opponent, put your fat gut over his face, and punch the hell out of the top of his head until he taps or gets KO'd.

His fight versus Kimbo Slice is one of the greatest things to ever come out of The Ultimate Fighter show.

Sadly, this is the best version I can find:

Harold Howard is so tough that Royce Gracie was afraid to fight him. He was then defeated by the coward Steve Jennum who was just thrown into the final because there was no one left who was originally in the tournament. Its amazing how long it took UFC to get rid of the three to four fights in a night tournament.

I dunno if this one is horrifying so much as it is bizarre, but let's look at Tennis for a second. Nothing horrific happens in Tennis, right?



In the 1983 US Open, Stefan Edberg (R) had a serve go awry. It resulted in the death of linesman Dick Wertheim.

drat, a dude hit the ball so hard he killed a guy?!

...Edberg's serve nailed Wertheim straight in the groin. He collapsed out of the chair and cranked his head off the ground, which was what actually killed him.

I defy anyone to deny that after watching the spectacle that was Kimbo v Dada 5000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqkX2B1NII4 - just two masters of the sport displaying peak MMA.

Dada died shortly afterwards, in the cage, but they brought him back.

Kimbo died for real like a month later.

Dada's heart stopped twice after that fight. I like to introduce it to people as the only time two men fighting resulted in three deaths.

Even in hindsight, the "KO" punch is still the funniest poo poo ever. It's like one of those anime punches where just the shockwave can render a man unconscious.

Malarchuk is the second most horrifying sports injuries I've seen, and it was kind of sheer chance he actually survived. Their athletic trainer was a Vietnam War combat medic so he knew how to deal with the injury.

In interviews Malarchuk said his only thought was to get off the ice because he knew his mom was watching the game on TV and he didn't want her to see him die on camera :smith:

Dude had OCD, PTSD, recurring nightmares, alcoholism and a suicide attempt. And in 2008, dumbass reporters were like, 'Hey, Clint! This Panthers player also got his neck cut. You wanna weigh in on this?!'


But the most horrifying sports incident is 100% Tom Pryce


A Welsh race car driver, he's infamously remembered for what happened at the 1977 South Africa Grand Prix.

In the 22nd lap, Renzo Zorzi's car suffered engine failure and caught on fire. Two race marshals with fire extinguishers tried to cross the track to assist him. The first barely made it, the second, Frederick Van Vuuren wasn't so lucky.

Pryce didn't see him in time as he was behind another car which swerved and missed them, and hit Van Vuuren. The impact tore Van Vuuren in half, and the fire extinguisher he'd been carrying hit Pryce in the helmet with enough force that he was nearly decapitated. Both died instantly, and Van Vuuren's body was so badly mangled that they had to assemble all the marshals to figure out who wasn't there.

Please tell me this lead to them having fire marshals on both sides of the track now?

Three pages and nobody mentioned Buck Shelford yet?!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvy32d-jk4E

Wikipedia posted:

Roughly 20 minutes into the match, he was caught at the bottom of a rather aggressive ruck, and an errant French boot found its way into Shelford's groin, somehow ripping his scrotum and leaving one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth in the process. Incredibly, after discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed. He was substituted and watched the remainder of the game from the grandstand where he witnessed the All Blacks lose 16–3. To this day Shelford has no memory of the game.

So in one game, the guy lost a few teeth, had his scrotum torn open with one testicle hanging out, had it stitched and went on playing.
