An American fighter injured his opponent's arm so severely it made him look like Harry Potter when a rogue Bludger and a spell-gone-wrong turned his limb to jelly.

It all went down in the regional American MMA firm Cage Fury Fighting Championships, in a featherweight title main event between defending champion Pat Sabatini and the challenger James Gonzalez, in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

The title fight lasted just 46 seconds as Gonzalez applied an arm lock which Sabatani attempted to slam his way out of.

This, though, made things worse as the pressure bent his arm in all sorts of ways it should not have gone, while the referee looked on, late to stop the bout.

When the bout was waved off, Sabatini's arm was clearly injured and he dangled it from his shoulder and elbow like Potter in the "Chamber of Secrets" when a game of Quidditch and an aggressive Bludger ball knocked him off his broom, snapping his limb.

Gilderoy Lockhart attempted to mend Harry's bones on the Quidditch field only for his spell to remove them instead, leaving his arm like a floppy, jelly-like mess.

WARNING: You can watch footage of Sabatani's injury right here but we don't know why you'd want to.

Seriously.
