MMA fighter Abdul-Malik Saidulaev has suffered one of the worst arm injuries you’re ever likely to see – short of total amputation.
We ought to be accustomed to seeing gruesome injuries during MMA bouts. Chris Weidman and Conor McGregor have both snapped their legs in UFC main card bouts this calendar year, with Jacare Souza also busting his arm.
The snapping, twisting and total dislocation of Abdul-Malik Saidulaev’s arm, though, may well take the biscuit.

Saidulaev was taking on Russian rival Rustambek Nurzhanov at an ACA: Young Eagles show in Chechnya. He won’t have expected to leave the venue in a great deal of pain, with a long road to recovery ahead of him.
Yet, after an awkward fall, Saidulaev’s arm was left dangling and pointing in the complete wrong direction, with the fighter’s discomfort clear and Nurzhanov’s guilt evident.
It’s not one for the feint-hearted, but if you’re sold on giving it a watch…
