Fight fans are unhappy with amateur star Jason Shaner.
On Saturday night, the bantamweight prospect made his MMA debut at Full Contact Fighting Federation ‘Rumble at the Roseland 120’ at Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon.
It ended in disaster when his opponent suffered a gruesome injury.
JR Bunn began the fight by firing a series of hard leg kicks at Shaner.
However, the debutant checked one of them and caused a bad break.
Bunn tried to step back on his broken leg, but it bent the wrong way under his weight, and he crashed to the canvas in a sickening scene.

UFC bantamweight Ricky Simon attended the event and captured the fight on camera before sharing it with his X – formerly known as Twitter – followers.
Naturally, his comment section was filled with concern and well wishes for Bunn, but many fans also pointed out Shaner’s reaction to the injury.
The Oregon State University wrestler ran over to Bunn and started shouting something in his face while he was writhing around the floor in agony.
Shaner had to be ushered away from his stricken rival by the referee.
The wild celebrations continued as he screamed and did a dance move as the in-cage official headed over to check on Bunn.
One fan fumed: “The taunting is egregious.”
Another said: “Bold of the opponent to be celebrating that way.”
Someone else asked: “Why did he celebrate like that, weirdo”
A fourth person added: “No class.”
Shaner is yet to react to the negative comments coming his way after his debut win, but he has aimed a nice message at Bunn.
“Thanks to everyone who came out and supported last night,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I hope my opponent has a fast recovery. No one wants to see that.
“Lot of energy was put into this fight, onto the next one.”
Bunn’s unfortunate injury means he drops to 1-1 in the sport after scoring an impressive 24-second knockout win in his amateur MMA debut in February.
As of right now, there’s been no update on his current condition.
