A kickboxer suffered a horror injury, breaking his arm during a combat sports match that went wrong fast

  • A kickboxer suffered a horror injury during a recent match.
  • Marcin Wrzosek, a former MMA fighter for KSW, broke his arm in a bout against Piotr Szeliga.

A kickboxer suffered a horror injury during a freak fall and broke his arm in a match earlier this month in Poland.

It all went down at a Fame MMA show in Krakow when Piotr Szeliga and Marcin Wrzosek went head-to-head in an MMA cage, with MMA gloves, for a fight with kickboxing rules.

Midway through the opening round, Szeliga landed a ferocious leg kick, and when Wrzosek tried to break his fall, he inadvertently caused nasty, fight-ending damage.

Szeliga could sense that Wrzosek could not continue, and the referee waved the bout off immediately.

"Stronger again," Wrzosek said on Twitter before adding that he'd like to rematch Szeliga so they could settle their fight for real after he's overcome his injury.

"We're doing it again because I don't think any of us wanted it to end like this," Wrzosek finished.

On Facebook, Szeliga said he was preparing for a three-round war rather than a bout that finished early because of a freak injury.

"I will gladly give a rematch," he said.
