ESPN Showed UFC Fighter Gabriel Benitez's Disgusting Leg Wound With Bone Exposed and We'll Never Un-See it
By Michael Luciano
Even in a sport that routinely sees broken bones and open cuts, UFC fighter Gabriel Benitez suffered one of the nastiest injuries you'll ever see. Benitez's fight Wednesday night against Omar Morales in Jacksonville ended up splitting his leg open right at his shin, giving us a truly gory and grotesque image.

Not only was "Moggly" Benitez still standing, but he managed to fight while having a gash several inches deep on his leg. He even threw kicks!
You can't say he didn't want to win.
Benitez lost for the third time in five tries. Morales came out with the victory, but Benitez's sacrifice has to push this into Fight of the Night territory.
2nd straight win by decision and 3rd win by decision in 10 pro MMA fights for Omar Morales.

Benitez might not have come out on top, but the fact he was even able to stand and walk around with an open would leaking blood like that proves that this is one of the toughest guys to ever get into the Octagon. Yikes.
