Mouthguards generally have one job, and it’s to keep you from getting your teeth knocked out. In combat sports, that is generally a far more important function than other sports because knocking your teeth out is exactly what the other guy, or girl, is attempting to do.Who. Not where.
Didn’t know you had an ammy fight just a few years ago. That’s cool, except the broken jaw part...Mouthguards generally have one job, and it’s to keep you from getting your teeth knocked out.

It’s safe to say this mouthguard failed. In fact, it failed grotesquely and spectacularly. The owner of this mouthguard, apparently an MMA fighter in China (no more detail was provided than that) is going to hope their insurance covers very extensive dental procedures.
The fighter in question may have won. But chances are, that will be small consolation to them unless someone is able to work a surgical miracle on their mouth. Even so, they are in for a lot more pain and trouble than they likely ever bargained for. I look at this and see myself as lucky. I only broke my jaw winning my first amateur MMA fight. At this point in time four years ago, I thought that was pretty bad. It cost me Christmas food and my birthday cake, as I glumly sipped eggnogg through teeth wired together. But at least I still have teeth.
Just another reason for all of us to be thankful this Christmas. All of us, except the owner of that mouthguard, that is.
You REED ED wrong. I didnt phight or break my jaw ? GD.Didn’t know you had an ammy fight just a few years ago. That’s cool, except the broken jaw part...
I’ve broken a lot of bones, but never my jaw. I bet that was a rough one. If you don’t mind sharing, what caused the damage? (Punch, knee, gnp, crank, etc). Is it all good now, or still have issues with the jaw?
