Jonathan King’s recounts gruesome leg break: ‘I didn’t know what was going on’

Watching the footage, it’s unnerving at first to see Jonathan King’s reaction to his leg being shattered.

There’s certainly no confusion about when or how it happened. About 20 seconds into his amateur bout against Chris Williams at an American Kombat Alliance (AKA) show in Bossier City, La., this last Saturday, King had a sharp leg kick checked and he immediately limped back as he tried to plant his foot back down, stumbling out of the view of the camera.

In the next shot, King is seen on his back, his face surprisingly calm as his leg is raised in the air showing a clear and ugly break.
