Didn’t even give chance to tap…"With a second adding: "Great way to potentially end someone's career."And a third writing: "He didn’t even attempt to hold that submission, just straight up went to savagery."However, others have pointed out that it was actually the fallen fighter that rolled into the lock, saying that 18-year-old Pavao was not at fault for what is either a broken bone or dislocation.Pavao said after the bout: "I wish him a full recovery, he was a real game opponent."I'm happy to be here, he showed up, I showed up, it's all part of the game, you know."Commentators Richie Santiago and Andy Kurzontkowski reacted how you would expect to the finish of the fight, with the latter saying: "Oh, his arm just broke."Adding: "Right in front of my eyes.

Wow, wow, wow, wow. Technical submission. Arm is snapped. Oh my God. Oh my God. Kyle Pavao has devastating submission skills."This place is… this place is… I think every single person in this person is… woah.
