Joe Rogan and Francis Ngannou react to brutal leg break in BJJ match at Submission Kings in South Africa: "That sound!"

Francis Ngannou recently appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience in the latest episode of the JRE MMA Show. During the episode, Rogan and his guest began discussing the nuances of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and how important it is to know when to tap into a submission.

After being asked if he would ever compete in a BJJ competition, 'The Predator' jokingly stated that he did not have any "extra knees or ankles to give up," referring to the possibility of a catastrophic leg injury during a match.

The podcast host then brought up a gruesome leg break that took place at a South African BJJ competition called Winner Takes All: 9, hosted by Submission Kings. The event took place on 12 July and was headlined by a match between former UFC bantamweight JP Buys and Reece van der Merwe.

During a match on the preliminary card between Ali Mirza and Austin van Wyk, Mirza secured an inside heel-hook submission. Before his opponent had the chance to tap, van Wyk's shin bone snapped in half, and the match was over.

Watch the fourth slide of the post below for the incident:

Rogan reacted to the footage by saying this:

"That sound! Play that again so I can hear that sound."

The former UFC champion hilariously added this:

"Punch me in the face, bro. Punch me in the face. Not the leg... Imagine thinking of the day that your leg made that sound?"

Francis Ngannou reflects on his strange feelings ahead of Anthony Joshua fight

Francis Ngannou took on Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in back-to-back fights in an epic spectable for both boxing and MMA fans.

Whilst the Cameroonian pushed Fury to the brink, with many believing Ngannou to have won the fight despite losing the official decision, his clash with Joshua was in stark contrast.

After being dropped several times in the opening rounds, 'The Predator' was floored for a final time by 'AJ' in Round 2. But during his recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, the MMA fighter stated that he "did not feel like himself" in the fight.

He said this:

"I got in the ring, I wasn't myself. And the first round, when he knocked me down, I was like, 'Did I slip? What exactly knocked me down?' I felt the punch, but it wasn't the punch that knocked me down." [23:40-24:11 in Francis Ngannou's aforementioned interview
