If you want to see the absolute worst effect a leg lock can have on someone's knee, watch Mikey Musumeci's destruction of Gantumur Bayanduuren at ONE Fight Night 6.

The bout was for Musumeci's ONE flyweight submission grappling world title and featured the nastiest series of leg locks possible.

From the opening bell, Musumeci attacked Bayanduuren's legs right away. After a few scrambles, 'Darth Rigatoni' secured his trademark 'Mikey Lock', which spelled the beginning of the end for the Mongolian grappler.

From that point forward, what Mikey Musumeci did to Bayanduuren's legs will turn your stomach, regardless of whether you're a practitioner or not.

First, the 'Mikey Lock' effectively broke Bayanduuren's ankle. After the Mongolian miraculously toughed his way out of the submission, Mikey Musumeco switched gears and locked in a heel hook.

We lost count of how many times Bayanduuren's knee twisted out of place as Mikey Musumeci kept switching from kneebars to heel hooks. Still, the tough-as-nails Bayanduuren never tapped out and resigned to finishing the match on the losing end of a unanimous decision.

Post-fight medical examinations concluded that Bayanduuren suffered severe damage to his knee and ankle, effectively sidelining him for a significantly longer period of time.
