Jon Kunneman suffers severe arm injury in Contender Series bout

During Dana White's Contender Series on August 11, Jon Kunneman sustained a serious arm injury in a match against Joe Kropschot. Kropschot executed a submission that dislocated Kunneman's elbow. Despite the injury, Kunneman refused to tap out, earning him attention but ultimately leading to a broken arm. Dana White awarded Kropschot a UFC contract following the bout but declined to offer one to Kunneman. An MRI is pending to assess Kunneman's ligament damage, but initial scans indicate a small hairline fracture.
