Graphic: Watch MVP explode Yamauchi’s kneecap with kick at Bellator

Bellator 292 simply wrapped up from the SAP Heart in San Jose, California with every bout on the four-fight foremost card ending early. Essentially the most brutal end of the evening additionally occurred to be the primary card opener, and witnessed Michael ‘Venom’ Web page explode the knee cap of Goiti Yamauchi with a single kick.

Yamauchi was in a southpaw stance, with MVP standing orthodox. Web page stepped in with an inside leg kick, and landed straight beneath the knee cap of his opponent. Within the video, you’ll be able to see what seems like Goiti’s patella really separating from the tendon. For sure Yamauchi instantly went down grabbing at his leg, prompting the referee to wave off the match simply 26-seconds into it.

I certain have seen my fair proportion of leg breaks over time, however most of them are a results of a kick being checked. By no means have I seen somebody explode a knee with a kick, so this can be a new one for me. MVP first earned a rent-free spot in my head again in 2016 when he caved within the cranium of Cyborg Santos with that depraved flying knee, and now he’s finished it once more. The person simply kicked off somebody’s fricking knee cap, and I’ll by no means be capable of unsee it. I actually hope Yamauchi heals up shortly, however these are the sorts of holy shit moments that us MMA followers reside for.
