Inside: Arm-breaking submission at Cage Titans 55

Arm-breaking submission at Cage Titans 55 When an MMA highlight goes viral, especially in the amateur ranks, the fallout is not as simple as thrill and agony. Winners and losers deal with the emotions left by a moment that takes the combat sports world by storm. One of those moments took place this past Saturday at Cage Titans 55 in Plymouth, Mass., when Kyle Pavao took on Wayne Downer in a lightweight matchup between debuting fighters. In the second round, Pavao secured an armlock known as an Americana. When Downer tried to power out of it, his arm snapped, resulting in a broken humerus — which was both seen and heard in the now-viral clip. “Obviously I’m in a little bit of pain, I have a cast, a little swollen, but other than that I’m pretty good, I’m in high spirits,” Downer said. “It’s kind of like a blur right now. ... At that point in the fight, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get out [of the submission], [and] my opponent was very strong. There was no possible way I could’ve tapped out, so it was just a freak thing that happened. Cage Titans President Michael Polvere was in his back office preparing social media graphics for the event’s upcoming championship bouts when he heard the crowd react. He went to the arena floor and was told a fighter may have suffered a broken arm. It wasn’t a typical arm break. What do you think of the Arm-breaking submission, do you think its part of the sport any athlete entering the ring is aware of the risks? Or do you think this intential and malicious?
