Morrison's Nasty Accident

Have you seen Morrison Butler around lately? Notice that crazy looking cut down his arm? Here's where he got it. Warning, this video will probably make you wince.

Did you HEAR it break? That was crazy! And then he just walked off like a total bad ass, with not one, but TWO bones broken in his forearm! Nice job, Morrison!

This all went down at Mission Submission 1.5 in Elizabeth City. When Morrison passed his opponent's guard, Jay Speight a very talented 16 y/o, he set up a move called a Bicep Slicer. It's called a Bicep Slicer; bet that's a little worse than a Charlie Horse.

This is what happened to Morrison's arm. Both bones broke.

A Bicep Slicer is a painful move (no, really?) that super extends the nerves in the bicep and the forearm, but it's not intended to break any bones. No submission in MMA is intended to break bones - they are aimed at joints and ligaments. What happened to Morrison was a really freaky accident.

But it still goes to show, that while we train and train so they don't, accidents will still occasionally happen. Thank God for insurance right?

So if you see Morrison around, check out that wound on his arm. It's even crazier in person.

And Morrison, sorry for what happened, but the way you handled it, was epic!
