This is the wince-inducing moment UFC superstar Paul Craig appeared to snap the arm of his opponent at last night's event.
The Coatbridge fighter was facing undefeated Jamahal Hill at UFC 263 in Arizona last night and took the scrap to his opponent early on.
Using a brutal armbar, the Scot ended the bout after just less than two minutes of the first round.

It earned him his 15th pro win and a $50,000 bonus from the premier MMA company in the world.
Despite Hill's arm appearing to be broken, UFC president Dana White confirmed it had just been dislocated and was popped back into place by medics after the fight.
Speaking in the Octagon after his victory, Craig said: "I am the jiu jitsu guy, you either tap, nap or it snaps and tonight it happened to snap. One hell of an opponent there, walking out of that octagon, he took shots after his arm broke, that's tough."
He added: "The crowd says it all, that's one hell of a tight armbar. For him not to tap, what are you Yanks made of?"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
