Video: Tobias Harila suffers horrific arm injury in Cage Warriors 160 main event

Cage Warriors 160 headliner Tobias Harila had his arm go in a direction an arm definitely should not bend in when James Hendin slammed him.

The Cage Warriors 160 main event ended in grotesque and unfortunate fashion.

Cage Warriors 160 took place Friday at BEC Arena in Manchester, England, and concluded after [autotag]Tobias Harila[/autotag] (12-4) suffered a nasty arm injury on a takedown by opponent [autotag]James Hendin[/autotag] (8-2) during their welterweight headliner.

The injury occurred early in Round 3 of the contest. As Hendin dropped him to the canvas on a double leg attempt along the cage, Harila planted his arm on the mat – a big mistake. Gravity took over as the weight of both men contorted the arm in a nasty direction.

Almost immediately, Harila tapped and referee Marc Goddard officially called off the fight at 0:28 of Round 3. Despite the gruesome appears of the sideways-pointed limb, Harila got up and walked out of the cage under his own power.

Check out full video of the incident below, if you dare.
