A 43-year-old suffered the worst loss of her entire career when she fractured her arm in the first round of a mixed martial arts match.

It went down at the all-women Standout Fighting Tournament 22 show in Sao Paulo in Brazil which featured four fights on Friday, October 31.

Karine Silva fought Sidy Rocha in the penultimate bout, fighting in the flyweight division.

However, it ended horribly midway through the opening round when Rocha had to withdraw from the competition while awkwardly dangling her fractured arm in the air.

Silva and Rocha exchanged submission attempts but, during an armbar, Rocha’s forearm seemed to snap.

Perhaps fueled by the adrenaline a fighter has in the midst of battle, Rocha appeared to want to continue fighting but the referee intervened so she could receive medical attention on the injury.

Watch the bone-breaking finish here:

Rocha's pro MMA record fell to 12 wins (six knockouts, one submission, and five decisions) against eight losses with the defeat.
