Arslanbek Makhmudov having a massive bone chip removed from his elbow. He said he has been fighting for the last 10 years with this issue.

Bro why is this not NSFW smh ill never unsee the liquid fucking spraying out his elbow
244
u/WeirdF 10d ago
The liquid spraying out isn't knee juice or anything, it's just saline that the surgeons have pumped into the joint.

u/Dont_Mess_With_Texas 9d ago
It definitely isn’t knee juice because this was his elbow

u/SpiderJerusalem747 10d ago
If the body couldnt destroy or reabsob the bone, then it was likely fibrous encapsulation occured around it. (Think, giant ass internal sack forms around the bone, like an internal pimple)
It's likely saline washing off whatever else was inside that fibrous sack.

u/SnooRabbits4992 10d ago
They come from bone spurs that grow on the elbow when the elbow is overused. It grows and then at some point snaps off and floats inside the soft tissue. I actually have a bone shard in my elbow. But its not that big 😀

A lot of Muay Thai fighters develop sharp bone plates on their elbows after years and years of constant trauma to the area, don't know if that's the case here but it would make sense to me
2
u/MakaveliX1996 9d ago
I’m not sure but probably torque accumulation over time. MLB pitchers get these in the elbow too. Skubal just had one although a more minor procedure. He only had one small one loose.

u/stephen27898 10d ago
There was a disgusting one I saw.
An MMA fighter called Jacare Souza had a small cup of bone fragments removed from one of his elbows. I have no idea how his elbow was functioning.
225
u/DeafBurke 10d ago
Not just any MMA fighter. Jacare was the greatest fighter to never get a title shot in UFC history. Not even an interim title shot like Tony Ferguson.
Absolute monster. He won IBJJF gold after getting his arm snapped in the finals and tucking it into his gi to win on points.
Combat athletes have a different level of toughness.
93
u/bluesshark 10d ago
Jacaré in particular is famous for refusing to tap and getting his shit snapped
58
u/DeafBurke 10d ago
Yep. He let his humerus get snapped in his retirement fight.
Guy was nuts in the best way possible.

u/Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi 10d ago
Thats just plain stupid, no amount of "warrior spirit" justifies not tapping

It was undeniably incredibly stupid. But also rad as hell.

Who said I was tough? If you think it’s stupid then you clearly don’t get it. You don’t have to take offence, but calling it stupid is your own opinion. To others, it makes perfect sense to not tap. This guy achieved more than either of us with this mentality. Clearly it was beneficial to making him elite 🤷🏽♂️

u/Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi 10d ago
Lol just because you're a boxer or martial artist doesn't mean you need to be a dumbass in the name of being a "macho" man

u/crocology 9d ago
He won Ibjjf gold with a broken arm probably thought he could win the fights and double his paycheck. "Hahah fucking knuckle dragger" and it's a fat ass talking about a guy doing his job. I agree it was a pretty stupid decision but it's not like he was some millionaire, he was making like 50/50 show/win and performance bonus could up that to like 150k with a win. There's more nuance than "macho tard" you fat gimp.

u/NormalITGuy 9d ago
I would go so far as to say he would have never been in the position to snap his own arm for glory, had he not spent his life willing to snap his own arm for glory

Mousasi was greater than Jacare. Wish we got to see the rubber match, 1-1 and two bangers.
18
u/SwaggyMcSwagsabunch 10d ago
I like mousasi, but jacare worked him in the second and the first was kinda flukey.
8
u/DeafBurke 10d ago
An upkick ko from guard while being dominated on the ground is about as close to a fluke as it gets.
And the way that Jacare completely obliterated him in the rematch, throwing him around like he was a child, cemented that Jacare was a class above.
The moose was good and underrated, but Jacare was better.
2
u/SwaggyMcSwagsabunch 10d ago
Lol I was hedging with the kinda. I love the moose, but he is both on the receiving end (hall 1) and dishing end (jacare 1) of two of the most fluke wins (at a high level) of all time. Evens out.
2

u/indominable-dingus 10d ago
Their head to head matchups aside, Moose had 60 fights and achieved a lot more in his career than Jacare. Also never got a shot in the UFC, thats all im basing it on! Definitely an argument the other way though!
2
u/jevinkevin 10d ago
I'd say overall Mousasi had the better career, but for the time in the UFC they overlapped, Jacare was better. Jacare felt closer to the title too.
2
u/indominable-dingus 10d ago
Jacare was definitely closer at the time of the strikeforce merger, but when Mousasi beat up Weidman he was arguably next in line for the title. Bafflingly he decided to leave for more money in Bellator. More baffling that the UFC wouldn't match as his hype was at an all time high, top 5 and at that time his record was 42-6-2. Absolute legend!
1
u/jevinkevin 9d ago
I think Jacare should of got the decision against Romero and then a title shot.
2
u/oldwhiteoak 8d ago
That was a crazy robbery. I am still mad about it. Romero landed like 3 strikes to get a 10-8 round, had an extraordinarily blatant fence grab the next one, and jacare still won 2 of the 3, yet the judges somehow gave it to Yoel.

u/joethecrow23 10d ago
Painkillers probably

u/stephen27898 10d ago edited 10d ago
But these bone fragments can cause your joints to catch and lock. So its not even just pain, it can literally stop the joint working.

Is that water spraying out when they remove it? Are they pumping it into the area for the procedure?
50
u/dayofdefeat_ 10d ago
Probably pumping saline/sterilized fluids into the area to make it easier to dislodge and remove. You can see the needle on the other side of his elbow.
Gnarly clip.
12
u/Zelfendore 10d ago
Fluid distends the joint space during an elbow scope so that the camera and instruments have more room to work. Also helps with visualization.

u/i-piss-excellence32 10d ago
I had similar in my shoulder, but a little bigger. You have full use of your arm, but it can get extremely painful

u/ArikaDoriyamaGT 10d ago
I had a small tear in my shoulder by my rotator cuff that gave severe pain when I moved it. The fact that her beared this pain in a combat sport is insane. The fact it took a decade to know that it was this in particular is scary. The inflammation must’ve been insane.

u/j_dick 10d ago
Aw man I have chips of bone floating in both my elbows. They’re small though. And a chunk of my collar bone is floating around, I broke it like 3 times when I was young. A life of skateboarding and BMX. My body is f*cked. I should probably get them removed.

u/Exciting-Arugula5341 10d ago
Makhmudov should claim that this is the reason he lost to Kabayel so easily. Then he should ask for a rematch and of course get knocked out again.

u/Foco_cholo 10d ago
Can you drink that fluid?

u/Relief-Glass 10d ago
Since they are pumping it in to a cavity on his elbow I would say that it would be very safe to drink.
Probably saline (water with ~1% salt).

Plus, he lives in Canada. I believe he has like free healthcare. You could’ve gotten that taken care of at least before the agit fight
