UFC fighter Chris Barnett appeared to injure himself before the start of his UFC 308 fight.
The 265-pound Barnett has been a fan favorite due to his nimbleness inside the cage despite being such a large man.
Unfortunately for Barnett, it doesn’t appear his body held together during her pre-fight warmup.
While being introduced by Bruce Buffer, a hyped-up Barnett began jumping very high and ended up landing awkwardly on his leg.
