VIDEO: Bizarre Scenes Unfold as MMA Fighter Ends the Fight Even Before It Gets Started

In the fast-paced world of sports, moments of triumph and tragedy often unfold in the blink of an eye. Recently, a viral video captured a bizarre incident where an MMA fighter had to end his fight even before starting. The incident has sparked a wave of reactions with fans and fellow athletes expressing their thoughts on the matter.

A shocking pre-fight mishap

The viral pre-fight video is from a Final Fight Championship (FFC) clash. In the viral video posted by Gaston “Tonga” Reyno on Twitter, we see Ecuadorian Miguel Grijalva get injured even before the fight starts.

As the bout was about to start, Miguel Grijalva was preparing himself with routine warm-up exercises. But little did he know that a routine warm-up jump would result in a distressing knee injury. The moment he landed on the ring after the jump, he knew there was something wrong.

In just a few seconds, his pain skyrocketed, leaving him crying on the floor. Although the medical team arrived quickly, they couldn’t treat the injury which looked like an ACL or MCL tear. After prolonged treatment, Grijalva somehow limped off the ring with the help of his doctors. With that, his MMA bout of him was also over, even before it started.

People react with shock and anger on X

As the video made its rounds on social media, X (formerly Twitter) users couldn’t help but share their opinions on the unfortunate event.

One user empathized with Grijalva, revealing a similar personal experience. They said, ” Just the same I injured myself when I returned to the gym.”

Another user highlighted the importance of approaching pre-game warm-ups with care and focus. The user said, ” That happens for doing pirouettes and nonsense before the fight. Unprofessional those who do that and look at the consequences. “

One X user expressed disappointment about Grijalva’s irresponsible routine and wished him a speedy recovery. It’s a lesson for young fighters to balance enthusiasm with caution.

Some users also raised concerns about the potential impact on Ecuadorian sports.

Another user highlighted the frustration of recurring injuries.
