Video: UFC hopeful Jack Becker suffers horrific leg snap in Eternal MMA title fight
What many in the Australian MMA circuit thought would be a UFC ticket-punching party for top prospect Jack Becker turned into an utter nightmare at Eternal MMA 66.
Saturday, fans at HBF Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, were witness as Becker (10-3) suffered a horrific leg injury in his title defense attempt against Aiden Aguilera (9-5).
The injury came early in the fight with minimal exchanges thrown prior to the stoppage. Becker absorbed a few leg kicks before he threw one of his own. The impact of the kick caused his ankle to slightly wrap around Aguilera’s leg.
When Becker put weight back on two feet, his right leg crumbled and so did he. Becker toppled to the canvas, with his leg pointed in a gruesome downward direction.
MMA Junkie has reached out to Eternal MMA for a health update on Becker, who has yet to post on social media since the injury. This story will be updated with any potential updates.
Becker, 29, is considered one of the top prospects in Australia and New Zealand, ranked the No. 2 lightweight in the region according to Tapology. Prior to the loss Saturday, Becker won three straight bouts. He is an ADCC Trials medalist and Abu Dhabi Trials medalist.
