If that is the worst thing some of you have seen then I have a little advice, its called life, try it some time. Live it. Leave your block and your work home work home work home cycle.

Thorshammer, I'd like to see him come back at a higher weight. Hill is almost as tall as Alistair Overeem.

Cory is a fantastic fighter and it really is a terrible blow to his career.
To all these people commenting on the 'brutality' of this event that this sport is 'disgusting' please leave those ignorant comments out. The sport is mixed martial arts, and it is wonderfully complex and invigorating, with some of the most talented and cerebral athletes in the world today. People break bones in basketball, soccer, hockey, boxing any sport. Accidents happen. MMA has a phenomenal track record with this being the most serious injury ever sustained in a sanctioned event. Cory in fact needs to rethink his weight class, although he has an amazing reach and height advantage at 185, obviously this risk is apparent, you need the muscle mass, fatty acids, and weight around your bones to give them strength and nurishment and clearly he is not getting it at 155. 185 would be a much healthier weight and I doubt this would happen to him again.
And people saying his opponent Hartt acting savagely? Ridiculous, neither fighter knew that his leg was injured, cory was in fact STILL fighting from the bottom. The ref QUICKLY intervened and stopped the fight. When Dale Hartt realized cory was injured he actually stayed by his side while Hill was taken out of the arena.

This is exactly why you should never kick the shins, unless you have shin guards or are a Muay Thai fighter. Even in sparring kicking shins can be painful and that is technique placement, I have had my shins bruised for months when I started training. Example, my trainer has shins like concrete, he tapped me with his shin, I blocked it and he got my knee which was the worst pain I have ever been in--in my life. Imagine a stainless steel baseball bat for a Muay Thai fighter shin. MMA is a combination of different disciplines.

The worst break I ever saw was Joe Theisman's carrer ending broken leg on Monda Night Football twenty five years ago. They showed it a dozen times from different angles. Man, that was a gross scene. Ouch!

I'm surprised these shin breaks don't happen more often in these mixed martial arts fights.
