#1 Jon Jones vs Chael Sonnen
Jon Jones suffered one of the worst toe injuries ever seen in the octagon. He suffered an open fracture dislocation of the big toe, in other words, he split his toe wide open across the middle. In Jon's post-fight interview, he spoke about how his adrenaline was pumping, so during the fight, he really did not feel that his toe was out of tact!
The images are gruelling to view but they are cool to see at the same time, because it's amazing that an athlete can perform with a gruesome injury like that. The best part about this situation is that Jones finished Sonnen with a first-round TKO to win the fight.
Jones landed a takedown as they were clinched against the cage and then finish Sonnen with some very aggressive ground-and-pound. Jon was rushed to the hospital after the fight to have emergency surgery to repair the battered toe.
Jon actually had the operation done in the emergency room rather than the operating room. Jon later took to Twitter to update MMA fans on the status of his toe by posting the picture below:
