Listen to the snap: Cage Titans bout ends with graphic arm break after fighter stands up with keylock

An amateur MMA bout Friday at Cage Titans 55 in Plymouth, Mass. ended in audibly and visibly grotesque fashion.

Plymouth Memorial Hall quickly turned into a house of horror upon the finishing sequence of a preliminary card bout between bantamweight debutants. When Kyle Pavao snatched a keylock and stood up, he simultaneously snapped the left arm of his opponent Wayne Downer.

The snap sounded throughout the venue, echoed by groans and moans from terrorized fans in attendance. Upon the snap, Pavao released the arm immediately and Downer faceplanted to the canvas as referee Steve Rita rushed to help.

Among those petrified were cage-side commentators Richie Santiago and Andy Kurzontkowski, who struggled to process the gruesomeness that played out in front of them.

“Oh, his arm just broke,” Santiago yelled.

“Right in front of my eyes,” Kurzontkowski added. “Wow, wow, wow, wow. Technical submission. Arm is snapped. Oh my God. Oh my God. Kyle Pavao has devastating submission skills. This place is… this place is… I think every single person in this person is… woah. I haven’t seen that happen live before. That was one of the nastiest things I’ve seen.”

Santiago interjected again, “That just made me shiver.”

UFC's Ilia Topuria no longer interested in Paddy Pimblett: 'As a fighter we all know he's not worth anything'

MIAMI – Ilia Topuria has lost interest in a potential fight against Paddy Pimblett . After several shots at each other in interviews and on social media, a scuffle in a hotel lobby , and a post-fight callout in the octagon, Topuria said he is done trying to get a fight against Pimblett. Now highly ranked and with his sights on the UFC featherweight title, Topuria believes he’s past Pimblett and fighting him would be taking a step back. “Paddy, you know what happens with Paddy?” Topuria said in Spanish at a media day this past Saturday . “He’s a person that media attention wise, he’s big. But as a fighter we all know he’s not worth anything. He’s not even ranked. He hasn’t done anything. “So giving merit to a person that’s only where he is because he knows how to sell himself well, I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. We’re athletes. In the UFC, the difference between them and other organizations is that here what’s valued is the sport and Paddy, sporting wise, hasn’t achiev...

Logan Paul and KSI will top an upcoming Misfits Boxing card entitled “The Prime Card,” they announced Friday on social media .

It is unclear if the bouts will be professional or exhibition. Paul, 28, has not competed in a professional boxing match since he fought and lost to  KSI in November 2019. The bout was a rematch of an August 2018 amateur fight which ended in a draw.

KSI, 30, has competed four times since the pro bout against Paul. All four of those matches were exhibitions. KSI won three of them inside the distance, while a f...
