Shocking: Fighter Secures Brutal TKO Win Before Realising His Arm Snapped
What started as a dominant performance inside the cage quickly turned into a shocking and painful moment at Combat Night Tallahassee on Valentine’s Day. Drew Zima secured an emphatic TKO victory over Logan Diedrich, but the celebration took a dramatic turn when he discovered that his arm had actually broken during the final exchange something he didn’t notice until after the fight was stopped.
The bout reached its climax with Zima pressing forward aggressively, pinning Diedrich against the fence and unloading a furious series of hooks. In the middle of the finishing barrage, a powerful left hand caused his forearm to give way. Despite the injury, adrenaline kept him moving as he continued throwing punches, even mixing in a head kick while chasing the stoppage. Amazingly, he landed several more strikes including some with the damaged arm — before the referee stepped in and waved the fight off.

Celebration turns into shock as reality hits
As the cage filled with cheers, Zima walked toward the center, yelling in triumph and raising his right arm proudly toward the crowd. But when he lifted his left arm to celebrate, it bent awkwardly, and the reality of the injury suddenly set in. The victorious energy quickly shifted to confusion and disbelief as he realized something was seriously wrong.
Visibly stunned, Zima grabbed his wrist and dropped to the canvas, spitting out his mouthpiece while clutching the injured limb. The moment captured the raw unpredictability of mixed martial arts, where adrenaline can carry fighters through extreme pain without immediate realization.
While the victory itself was impressive, the aftermath became the story fans couldn’t stop talking about a reminder of the toughness required to compete at this level and how quickly emotions can swing from celebration to concern inside the cage.
