Yes, my friends, that is what Jared Hamman's leg looked like last night after his fight against Michael Kuiper. It could be heard after the first round a reference in his corner to something in his leg being torn, and this is the visual representation of the pain he fought through before eventually being dropped and finished in the second round.

As Middle Easy reported earlier, Hamman tore his hamstring muscle badly in the first round during a takedown attempt roughly 2 minutes into the first round. "The Messenger" gamely fought on, even landing some decent counterstrike against Kuiper, but it was clear that he had lost all mobility on his feet, and Kuiper was able to exploit that on the way to his first UFC win.
