10 of the worst injuries in MMA history

#8 Shogun Rua vs. Mark Coleman I

Mark Coleman

Before the UFC became the big dog of MMA, Pride FC in Japan was at its peak and featured one of the most unfortunate injuries in the history of the sport. Mark Coleman was a monster back in his Pride day and in his final fight for Pride, he faced Shogun Rua.

The fight began with Shogun throwing quick kicks and shooting for a submission attempt. However, less than a minute into the fight, a takedown by Coleman resulted in Rua falling awkwardly that broke his arm in the process. What followed was even crazier than the injury itself as Rua's partner Wanderlei jumped into the ring to defend his friend. It was chaotic and would go down as one of the weirdest injuries in MMA history.
