For the second straight UFC pay-per-view event, a fighter suffered a broken bone. This time, it was middleweight veteran Jacare Souza, who had his arm snapped by Andre Muniz on the final fight before the UFC 262 pay-per-view main card.
Muniz trapped Souza’s right arm in an armbar as the two hit the canvas, and the arm snapped in sickening fashion as he extended his hips and pulled the limb. The official time of stoppage was 3:59 of round one.
Replays including audio capture the moment the arm breaks. It was not for the faint of heart, just as former middleweight champ Chris Weidman’s broken leg turned stomachs at UFC 261 this past month.

It’s very surprising for a BJJ ace like Jacare, to try to stand up in a position like that where his arm is trapped. Maybe we get so good and over confident that we feel we can skip steps to get out of dangerous situations like that one. That cost him big. #UFC262
