Michael Chandler fractured his shin while knocking out Tony Ferguson at UFC 274

Michael Chandler fractured his shinbone after throwing just two kicks in his fight against Tony Ferguson at UFC 274.

Chandler produced one of the greatest knockouts in promotional history by stopping Ferguson with a brutal front kick in their lightweight clash last weekend. Ferguson was unconscious before he went down as the Phoenix crowd erupted to the knockout of the year contender.

Ferguson had a successful first round in the fight and left Chandler's right eye badly swollen. Chandler revealed on The MMA Hour that his shinbone is likely fractured and his finger is dislocated after the win. "God did not create our bones to crack up against each other like we do. I threw two kicks in that fight – one on Tony's inside right leg as he was a southpaw. He switched stances and I hit him with a really hard low kick as well," he said.
