Here's a list of MMA most resonant in-ring fractures:
Allan Goes vs. Frank Shamrock (Pancrase, May 13, )
Breaking Point: Ankle (dislocation)

Last night after his win over Mizuto Hirota, Aoki went beyond talking trash. You think Brock Lesnar's behavior at UFC was crazy? Aoki blew away the UFC heavyweight champ. The only thing missing was Aoki smashing Hirota with a steel chair.
Watch the video ( mark) but only if you've got a strong stomach.
Aoki, one of the best submission fighters in the world, got Hirota twisted up with his arm behind his back. Hiroto wouldn't submit via tap and Aoki broke his arm.
