What happened to Hunter Boone on Saturday night was something straight out of a horror movie.
The amateur fighter fought at Martial Combat League 3 in Shawnee, Oklahoma at the FireLake Arena, where he met Jordan Brown. According to reports from those in attendance, the lightweight contest ended in 17 seconds after Brown appeared to go for a takedown and Boone slammed into an exposed cage bracket that immediately tore open the top of his head (h/t Eric Kowal of MyMMANews). Moments after, Brown was declared the winner by first-round technical knockout.
Jason Greer — head coach of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Altus — was cornering Boone and took to Facebook to explain how the gruesome injury occurred.
