Although Koreshkov was more experienced, Chance Rencountre was no less of a tough opponent with 11 of his 16 wins coming via finishes and just 5 setbacks in his overall MMA career. Regardless, once the fight ended with Koreshkov getting his hand raised in a spectacular fashion, it was later reported the next day that Recountre received 5 broken ribs and a punctured lung, as per Rencountre’s manager Brain Butler Au of Sucker Punch Ent.

Butler took to Instagram and wrote in captions below the picture of the XRay image of Recountre’s broken ribs “UPDATE: @blackeagle_170 suffered 5 broken ribs, a punctured lung from the heel kick landed by @koreshmmarus last night. Not the outcome we wanted but the kick was well placed and would have stopped anyone. Next time we will get a full camp and come back stronger.  Chance is in good spirits and prepping for surgery. Thank you to the @bellatormma team who has been tremendous with all their assistance. Congratulations to @koreshmmarus and his team on the victory.”

What do you make of this insane injury caused to Rencountre with just one devastating kick from the very dangerous Koreshkov? The sport of MMA is as vulnerable to either fighter as it comes and it’s feasible to imagine sometimes you are just a strike away from getting life-threatening injuries out of nowhere. What do you think is next for Andrey Koreshkov after this spectacular victory? Do you think he can become a champion again?
