We are only two weeks removed from witnessing one of the worst leg breaks in mixed martial arts history and another one has just happened.
On Saturday night, First Step Championship a promotion based in Poland put on a card with nine kickboxing matches. Two of the matches that took place on Krwawy Sport 3: K1 Hardcore Division were contested at heavyweight, and the final one on the main card was between Adam Wiśniewski and Vadim Shablevskyi.
The match presumably started off well, but it would soon take a turn for the worst as Wiśniewski threw a few low kicks to the leg of his opponent. Both landed around the knee of Shablevskyi, who attempted to block them with his hand. Wiśniewski stumbled as he put his foot down on the canvas and tried to steady himself as he continued to fall backwards.

Senegal Wrestling Legend Set to Challenge Pudz at KSW 59
Serigne Ousmane Dia (2-0), known fondly to fans as either “Bombardier” or “B52″, will make his KSW debut after winning two regional MMA bouts in his native Senegal. What he may lack in MMA experience, Dia greatly makes up for in Senegalese Wrestling. He is considered one of the top-tier greatest to ever compete in the sport.
