Haider Khan made his mark on his PFL debut by inflicting an impressive injury on his opponent with a devastating kick.
The Englishman, a former rugby league player, made the jump to MMA at the age of 18. He faced Saudi Mostafa Rashed Nada on the preliminary card of a historic PFL event in Dubai.
It didn't take long for Khan to get noticed, posting this graphic finish with less than two minutes left in the first round.
Controlling the center of the cage, Khan launched a kick aimed at the middle of Nada's body.
However, Nada anticipated the blow and tried to block with her arms.
Unfortunately for him, his blockage cost the bone structure of his left forearm.
When Khan's leg made contact, Nada's forearm took a twist that no human body should endure.
He looked down, taking in the damage, and walked away, prompting the referee to step in to stop the fight.
The pain was unbearable for Nada, while Khan was in ecstasy, screaming with joy and beating his chest with his fist.
Khan briefly interrupted his celebration to make sure Nada was okay, who was immediately attended to by the referee.
Former English boxing world champion, Amir Khan, was present and witnessed this memorable scene, sharing that he heard the crack of the bone.
“Look, this guy is a beast, he's an animal,” Amir Khan said.
