Injury strikes UFC Jacksonville: Mateusz Rebecki suffers potential foot break in winning effort against Loik Radzhabov

UFC on ABC 5 in Jacksonville started off with a string of decision victories, but Mateusz Rebecki injected some excitement into the event when he secured a TKO win over Loik Radzhabov.

The clash between Rebecki and Radzhabov unfolded inside the electrifying VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. However, Rebecki's victory came at a possible cost as he appeared to suffer a foot break during the hard-fought contest.

The Polish fighter hit the fence during their back-and-forth battle inside the octagon, resulting in a potential injury. When questioned about his noticeable limp in the cage, Rebecki admitted:

"Yeah, I kick on the fence and I feel a little bit scratched."

In the second round, 'Chinczyk' landed a powerful overhand left that sent Radzhabov crumbling to the canvas. The referee, Larry Folsom, intervened at the 2:36 mark of the round, recognizing that Radzhabov was unable to continue.

Leading up to the stoppage, Rebecki showcased his skills with a relentless assault. He systematically dismantled Radzhabov with a combination of leg kicks and precise strikes, exerting control for the majority of the fight. However, the victory was marred by a potential injury to Rebecki's foot, possibly resulting in a break.

Despite the injury, this triumph marks Rebecki's second victory under the UFC banner. In his previous outing, he secured a unanimous decision win against Nick Fiore in January, further solidifying his presence in the highly competitive promotion.
