Missed Fists: Marcin Wrzosek suffers knee injury after post-fight throw from opponent’s twin brother

Welcome to the newest version of Missed Fists the place we shine a light-weight on fights from throughout the globe that will have been missed in these hectic occasions the place it looks as if there’s an MMA present each different day.

Let me be the primary to say I’m not a believer in superstitions, jinxes, unhealthy juju, or no matter you wish to name it when misfortune appears to comply with one explicit goal. I’m a person of science.

That mentioned, generally there’s no shaking the sensation that some mischievous or malevolent power is out to get somebody. I had this thought seeing the newest mishap to befall Marcin Wrzosek.

(Huge thanks as at all times to @Barrelelapierna for his or her weekly lists of one of the best KOs and submissions, and to @Grabaka_Hitman for importing lots of the clips you see right here. Give them a comply with and chip in on Patreon for those who can.)

Marcin Wrzosek vs. Pawel Tyburski (and his twin brother???)

If Wrzosek’s identify sounds acquainted… effectively, we’ll get to that later. For now, let’s take a look at the chicanery that went down at a Fame MMA occasion in Warsaw, Poland, the place Wrzosek ended up experiencing a excessive after which the bottom of lows in brief order.

Right here’s what I gathered from @Matysek88’s description and a tough translation of a writeup by Przegląd Sportowy: Wrzosek was victorious in a one-round bout with modified MMA guidelines, defeating Pawel Tybursky by determination. In what was meant to be a playful second afterwards, Pawel’s twin brother Piotr went to throw Wrzosek down, however as you’ll be able to see within the clip above, Wrzosek ended up falling in a painfully awkward place.

The ensuing damage knocked Wrzosek out of a one-night event, and probably out for the remainder of 2025. He later wrote on social media that he has “torn ligaments” in his knee. Suffice to say, he’s not too proud of the Tybursky bros.

As for the preamble, you would possibly keep in mind “The Polish Zombie” from his time as a forged member on The Final Fighter 22 and his lone UFC look, otherwise you would possibly keep in mind when he broke his frigging arm at one other Fame MMA occasion virtually two years in the past to the day of the Tybursky incident. ROUGH.

You possibly can take a look at the entire incident on Fame’s YouTube and different highlights from the occasion under.

Angel Rodriguez vs. Andres Farrera

Wrzosek wasn’t the one one having a troublesome time of it within the cage this previous week. Lots of people acquired kicked within the head, too.

Few delivered mentioned kicking with as a lot type and panache as Angel Rodriguez, who landed a sensational wheel kick knockout at a Supreme Battle Night time occasion in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Gradual that one down. That’s heel proper to the aspect of the temple, immediate shut-off. And the hammerfist afterwards was simply so, so, pointless. Nonetheless, you’ll be able to’t ding Rodriguez an excessive amount of for getting caught up within the second, particularly since this was for a vacant featherweight title.

Rodriguez entered this contest 15-15, whereas Farrera was 9-1. I can solely assume this bout was put collectively to get gold round Farrera’s waist, however Rodriguez-who had been completed in 4 straight fights previous to this one-apparently didn’t get the script.

You possibly can watch extra free fights from this occasion on YouTube.

Movsar Ibragimov vs. Thomas Bryan
Nessim Akhdim vs. Qudrat Safi

Over to Enviornment Elite Championship 12 in Laval, France, now for some extra coup de tête motion, as they’d put it.

Movsar Ibragimov unleashed his leg on an unsuspecting Thomas Bryan, inflicting Bryan to virtually spike himself into the canvas afterward.

Fortunately, we see Bryan again up on a stool shortly after and as in good situation as you might be after consuming a shot like that.

Nessim Akhdim additionally completed with a slapping head kick, which someway didn’t draw a right away stoppage from the referee.

Take into account, this was an novice bout, that are sometimes referee’d with extra warning. Like Bryan, Qudrat Safi gave the impression to be alright afterwards. I nonetheless would preferred to have seen a faster stoppage there, although.

Katsuyoshi Takahashi vs. Hideya Narumi

Katsuyoshi Takahashi, then again, barely gave his referee an opportunity to maneuver.

From a Pancrase Blood occasion in Tokyo:

That’s only a 1-2 combo on the cash and Hideya Narumi was out earlier than he hit the bottom. Takahashi dove in for an exclamation level punch, arriving at virtually the very same time because the official. Too late to cease a defenseless Narumi consuming yet another energy punch. That was robust to look at.

Ragners Dzhigurs vs. Tomas Markus

Why don’t we carry some pleasure again into our lives for a second?

At a King of Kings occasion in Riga, Latvia, Ragners Dzhigurs was all smiles after getting cracked by Tomas Markus. Usually, once I see somebody grinning and bearing it in the midst of an MMA combat, I assume catastrophe is quickly to comply with for them. That doesn’t apply to Dzhigurs, who gave the impression to be genuinely amused by Markus’ punch and determined the easiest way to assume him was to hurry him into the nook and hearth again with 10 occasions the quantity of power.

Looks as if a candy man.

Anna Crutchfield vs. Blanca Medina
Cody Freeman vs. Shane Torres
Steven Orozco vs. Cameron Money

The Oprah joke is simply too apparent right here, however screw it.

YOU GET A HEAD KICK AND YOU GET A HEAD KICK AND YOU GET A HEAD KICK!

On the Fury FC 101 prelims in Dallas, strawweight prospect Anna Crutchfield dazzled with an attractive kick up high after which a brick of a proper hand to depart Blanca Medina frozen on the mat.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t embrace one submission this week, particularly when it’s nearly as good as Cody Freeman tangling Shane Torres up in a nasty means after which placing him to sleep.

Freeman had Torres’ physique so compacted with that choke it’s like he was making an attempt to stuff him right into a suitcase.

Oh, keep in mind how we began this week with a wheel kick? Effectively, right here’s one other for you.

Spinning and profitable, the common foreign money.

Marcos Degli vs. Lincon Santos
Lany Silva vs. Rose Conceicao

Fury FC 101 is offered for replay on UFC Fight Pass, as is LFA 201 from Sao Paulo, Brazil, which is the place we depart off this week.

New interim flyweight champion Marcos Degli gave us our Humpty Dumpty Fall of the Week, connecting with a left hand that had Lincoln Santos almost doing the splits.

These toes had been flying in reverse instructions and if that had been me, my groin would not be intact. Simply saying.

And in case you missed it, you need to see Lany Silva’s knockout of Rose Conceicao within the LFA strawweight championship predominant occasion.

This was an unimaginable assertion win for the 22-year-old Silva, who took out an opponent lately featured on the Contender Collection. Silva spoke to our personal Guilherme Cruz about her plans to capitalize on the viral knockout and hopefully rating a Contender Collection spot of her personal or, even higher, a fast-track ticket to the UFC.
