A new champion was crowned at Friday’s LFS 39 event, but this dislocated, flappy wing is likely what viewers will remember most. After all, you’re unlikely to forget this scene even if you wanted to. In a flyweight bout at the AXS TV-televised event, which took place at Dodson Arena in Vail, Colo., Brandon Royval (7-3) picked up a TKO win after just 40 seconds when Jerome Rivera (7-2) clearly couldn’t continue because of his mangled arm. Rivera elbow appeared to dislocate/break his elbow while trying to brace himself against the cage. Rivera tried to retreat, but his arm was left dangling beside him during the gruesome scene. After Rivera ate a subsequent head kick, the bout was merciful waved off (via Twitter ): Well this just happened at #LFA39 … @LFAfighting @brandonroyval pic.twitter.com/7QgERTvczT — AXS TV Fights (@AXSTVFights) May 5, 2018 In the main event, Ian Heinisch (10-1) knocked out Gabriel Checco (10-3) to claim the vacant middleweight title.
