Chance Rencountre Suffered Punctured Lung, Broken Ribs from Spinning Heel Kick at Bellator 274

Andrey Koreshkov did a number on Chance Rencountre in the Bellator 274 co-main event.

Koreshkov wrecked the UFC veteran with a spinning back kick to the ribs early in their welterweight encounter, and he finished off his opponent with follow-up punches 38 seconds into Round 1. As it turns out, there wouldn’t have been much Rencountre could have done to recover from Koreshkov’s attack.

“Chance Rencountre suffered five broken ribs, a punctured lung from the heel kick landed by Andrey Koreshkov last night,” Rencountre’s manager, Brian Butler, wrote on Instagram on Sunday.
