Last Night’s Tuff N Uff event featured one of the worst MMA injuries that I’ve ever seen. I happened to be cage when the injury occurred and Mike Florio simply looked towards us in Media Row and calmly said, “My leg just broke.”
He was correct in his statement and the referee was quickly notified. The crowd went immediately silent while EMT’s rushed the cage. Not until his opponent, Jim Elmer, stood up did everyone see the gruesome sight. Florio’s shin had snapped and the bone was sticking out from his skin. Paramedics worked quickly to push the bone back into place and wrap the injury.
We here at BSO wish Florio a speedy recovery.
