OnlyFans and BKFC star Charisa Sigala tried to fix and fight on despite breaking her leg in defeat to Jayme Himshaw.
Sigala has attracted even more attention to her fighting career having created a profile on the subscription service OnlyFans in 2016 where fans are charged to view premium content. The American, who has fought in bare-knuckle promotion BKFC for several years, took to the ring in her latest outing as part of the organisation's Knucklemania 3 event where she was paired up with Himshaw.
With a mixed record in the bare-knuckle ranks, Sigala was trying to overturn her form having lost to Britain Hart last time out prior to missing out on a huge fight with Paige VanZant. However, it was arguably bout to descend into one of the toughest nights of Sigala's career given she was sent sprawling to the canvas in the opening round of the contest.
During the knockdown, the strawweight saw her leg become trapped under her body while tumbling to the canvas, and it immediately became apparent that she had suffered a serious injury. Her leg was disfigured as she rose to a sitting-up position with the referee giving the count to the star despite the visible gruesome damage.

In sensational warrior style, Sigala attempted to move her leg back into its correct position in a squeamish display of passion to continue fighting before then trying to rise to her feet. However having tried to battle through no doubt excruciating pain, the contest was waved off with the model unable to continue in the fight.
Fans were stunned after the footage emerged, with one writing: "Charisa Sigala is a bad***! Broke her ankle and tried to snap it back in place and get back up and keep scrapping! I’ve never seen a fighter do anything like this." Another agreed: "Charisa Sigala broke the hell out of her leg. She literally twisted her foot back into place and tried to stand up before waving herself off. That's pretty badass."

One fan suggested her ankle was also out of place, adding: "OMG! Look how she just realigns her ankle! That’s insane." Another pointed out the reason for early stoppages, suggesting: This is why you save fighters from themselves, way too tough and too much heart. The fact she tried to fix her obviously broken leg/ankle and keep going is nuts!"
Elsewhere on the card former NFL and UFC star Greg Hardy was beaten in devastating fashion having been dropped by Jack Watson in his bare-knuckle boxing debut. Hardy was looking to secure bigger and better fights in the ring after beating Hasim Rahman Jr, but it is likely his career is now in jeopardy having previously called out Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
