Well, this is disgusting.
Not even one minute into their fight Saturday at ACA: Young Eagles 19, Rustambek Nurzhanov vs. Abdul-Malik Saidulaev needed to be stopped. That’s because Saidulaev suffered an absolutely grotesque arm injury on a throw by Nurzhanov.
Although the nature of the injury isn’t known, one thing was for sure: It did NOT look good. See for yourself below at your own risk (via Twitter):
Graphic Warning
Abdul-Malik Saidulaev badly injures his arm on a throw from Rustambek Nurzhanov. That's either broken, dislocated, or both. #ACAYE pic.twitter.com/KUSsSH9942

The angle below is even worse. You’ve been warned.
This angle, though. Again watch at your own risk. pic.twitter.com/dZdK7zSnZB

Arms are not supposed to bend like that. We sure hope Saidulaev is doing OK.
