Photos: Mike Florio’s gruesome open dislocation at Tuff-N-Uff (warning: very graphic)

Let’s go ahead and get this out of the way: If you’re squeamish, if you don’t like to see gruesome injuries, and the thought of a bone popping through skin makes you wanna puke, leave. Leave now, and never look back.

At Friday’s night’s Tuff-N-Uff MMA event in Las Vegas, Mike Florio suffered a sickening leg injury when opponent Jim Elmer took him to the mat in the second round. Florio collapsed on his own leg during the sequence, and it resulted in a gruesome open dislocation, with a bone protruding from the skin just above his left ankle.

Tracy Lee of CombatLifestyle.com captured the images and provided them to MMAjunkie. You can see the photos in the above gallery (warning: very graphic).

The injury, which resulted in an audible snapping sound, left the crowd at the Orleans Hotel & Casino in stunned silence. The amateur MMA event was briefly delayed as medical personnel tended to Florio, though the action ultimately resumed after a short intermission.

Florio vs. Elmer was the seventh bout on the 10-fight bill, which also saw Ronda Rousey training partner Marina Shafir claim a featherweight title with a submission victory over Tabitha Patterson in the main event.
