Dean Maxwell suffers leg break after taking vicious kick at Urban Fight Night 24: Watch

Calf kicks are one of the most effective weapons in a fighter’s arsenal. The technique that targets one specific area on the outer leg or inner leg helps the fighter to slow down their opponent and in some cases, ends the bout after the opponent suffers a vicious, possibly career-ending injury. And if you need proof of how brutal calf kicks really are, look no further than Randall Rayment’s fight-finisher from this past Saturday.

Dean Maxwell MMA injury: Dean Maxwell breaks leg

Because of the kicks, Dean Maxwell slowed down, while Rayment continued the punishment. A few seconds later, a loud snap was heard in the venue, confusing fans. Many thought that it’s the general sound that comes after a fighter’s leg connects with his opponent’s leg with unimaginable force. However, fans later realised that the sound was of Maxwell’s bone snapping in half as the fighter’s right leg rolled in the opposite direction after he placed it down on the canvas.

Maxwell then dropped to the canvas, put his hand up to signify he was done, and the referee stepped in to wave the fight over. As the referee and officials were attending him, Maxwell slightly took his leg up for all to see that the bottom half of it was literally hanging down limply.
