2014 Pan Champion Luiz Panza today suffered a gruesome injury during his match versus Felipe Preguica Pena in the absolute of the World Pro. He apparently fractured his tibia and fibula while resisting to what looks like a toe hold.
On Thursday, he took the 3rd place in the under 95 weight class.
From Checkmat leader Leo Vieira’s Facebook:
Unfortunately Luiz Panza was injured today competing in Abu Dhabi but he is fine and soon we have news from him!
