Graphic: Fighter throws low kick, breaks leg in gruesome fashion at EFC 92

Remember the broken leg curse of 2021? It is still in full effect in 2022.

Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) held its most recent event — EFC 92 on Saturday in Johannesburg, South Africa — and the first fight of the night was between Willem Smith and Ivan Strydom. The fight ended rather quickly, but not because of a vicious knockout that we have come to expect whenever heavyweights meet inside of a cage.

As both men squared up in the center during the opening round, Smith threw a left hand followed by a low kick to the left leg of Strydom.
