MMA Fighter Dylan Kiskila

Amateur MMA featherweight Dylan Kiskila scored a brutal knockout with a high kick last weekend but the force behind his own strike shattered his leg.

Dylan Kiskila was tasked with fighting Kai Duque. The fight served on the Captain’s Fight Club card last Saturday, held in Fargo, N.D. After Kiskila found a way to wrap his foot around the face of Duque, the contest would only last 34-seconds. Kiskila picked up the emphatic KO victory but the fighter won’t be making a quick turnaround after breaking his tibia while scoring the finishing blow.

After landing the devastating head kick, Kiskila slips and falls to the canvas as Duque crashes to the floor unconscious. When Dylan Kiskila attempts to stand back up and secure the finish, his foot folds under the pressure of his own body weight.

Warning: Graphic Video

“Last Friday at Captain’s Fight Club, Dylan Kiskila got the combo KO + broken ankle. Original video” Barrele la pierna shared on Twitter Sunday.

The tibia break is the same injury Conor McGregor experienced in his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. It appears leg injuries are occurring more frequently nowadays. Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman also suffered a gruesome leg break in April on the UFC 261 pay-per-view against Uriah Hall.

The amateur featherweight Dylan Kiskila will need some time to recover. Typically with tibia fractures and breaks, at least six months of rehabilitation is needed for a fair degree of recovery.

Are there more leg injuries in MMA nowadays?

Dylan Kiskila had a fantastic head kick knockout, but also suffered a broken ankle while knocking out his opponent Kai Duque.

Kiskila landed a beautiful head kick that immediately knocked his opponent to the mat. The kick also took himself down as well and after he regroups, he goes in for a few more shots. Unfortunately, his leg gives out and you can see where he broke his ankle immediately. He remained extremely calm as he noticed he snapped his ankle. He looked toward his corner and made a gesture to tell them his leg was finished.

Whether the break occurred when he kicked his opponent or after is inconclusive in the video. To the naked eye it looks like he may have injured it a bit on the kick, but when he pushes off to engage is when he may have snapped it.

WARNING: The Video of Dylan Kiskila is gruesome and may be difficult to watch for some

Kiskila was fighting in an amateur promotion called Captains Fight Club in North Dakota when he scored his knockout. Unfortunately, it took a turn for the worst and became the most unforgettable moment in his career for all the wrong reasons. According to MMA Fighting, Kiskila suffered the same injury that has sidelined Conor McGregor. Kiskila suffered a broken tibia on the kick he landed.

The road to recovery is going to be a long process for the 29 year old fighter. A clearer video was shared by the promotion on their Facebook and you can hear the ferocity of the kick. This just is another example of how unforgiving the sport truly can be. It brings the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows very quickly.

Here at LowKick we wish Kiskila a speedy recovery and hope he returns better than ever.
