In recent years, we have seen Anderson Silva, Chris Weidman e Conor McGregor breaking their legs in fights in recent years. The injury that happened to Dylan Kiskila last week, however, has a difference compared to these others: he won the fight.

At an amateur MMA event called Captains Fight Club, in North Dakota (United States), Dylan Kiskila faced Kai Duque. Still at the beginning of the first round, Kiskila landed a strong high kick to his opponent's head, taking him to the canvas and forcing the referee to stop. The victory, however, cost the athlete dearly.

According to reports from the athlete himself on the MMAFighting website, he fractured his tibia and his ankle “literally wrapped around Kai Duque's head”. Despite the terrible injury, Kiskila was declared the winner by knockout.
