M-1 Challenge 61 results: Gruesome leg break mars main event title fight

For the second time this year, M-1 Global returned to the North Caucasus republic, Ingushetia, where they hosted yet another intriguing fight card with a title fight in the main event.

Unfortunately, while Marcin Tybura was scheduled to defend his heavyweight title against a tough opponent in Ante Delija, the Croatian suffered a horrific leg break in the opening round of the fight that rendered him unable to compete. The win was awarded to Tybura, who moved to 13-1 in his professional career. His only loss is a TKO to light-heavyweight champ Stephan Puetz.

A video of the graphic leg break is available above.
