Tyrone Spong, one of the best kickboxers on the planet, just suffered a horrific leg break in his GLORY 15 main event with Gokhan Saki.
Spong threw a leg kick which was checked by Saki, leading to a broken leg, similar to the recent Anderson Silva leg break against Chris Weidman.
Here are some tweets from the moments following the injury:
Outside right low kick, Saki checked it hard with the knee, and Spong’s shin did the laffy taffy. Good defense can still ruin a homie’s day.

Remember when people acted like Weidman-Silva 2 was a hyper rare freak occurrence? Kickboxing hero Tyrone Spong just had his shin explode.

Shocking, dramatic, and unexpected finish. Anything can happen in a fight, and tonight was proof of that.

We’ll have more coverage of the event (which will air on Spike TV) later tonight.
Update: Zombie Prophet has a gif of the injury:
