MMA Fighter Hospitalized After Nasty Groin Kick Ends Fight in Seconds

An MMA fight in Seoul, South Korea, was ruled a no-contest after one fighter was hospitalized when he suffered a kick to the groin just seven seconds into the opening round.

Heavyweight fighter Aorigele was kicked in the groin by challenger Myung Hyun-Man in the opening moments of a fight at the Road FC 39 event on Saturday June 10.

A video of the fight shared to Road FC’s YouTube on June 10 shows Myung Hyun-Man and Aorigele touch hands and size each other up as the fight begins.

Just seven seconds later Aorigele was left rolling around in pain with the referee deeming it a no-contest, before he was quickly taken to hospital due to vomiting.

Road FC shared two videos and a series of images of the fighter recovering in hospital. The uploader has provided clearance for it to be used in broadcasts and online with credit.
