Tim Means suffered a gruesome ankle injury late Saturday night in a loss to Nico Price at UFC Wichita.

Below are a few more looks at the horrific injury.
ESPN didn’t show Tim Means much after the KO. But it looks like he may have broke his ankle coming down on it. Heal up man… pic.twitter.com/fj75GBW7NL

It can’t get much worse than that in the UFC when it comes to ankle injuries. It just gave right out on Means, which is the scariest part. (SLIDESHOW: These Are The Sexiest Paige VanZant Photos On The Internet)
It’s one thing if you have a clear reason for an injury. He fell and his ankle just went with him. It was disgusting.
It’s also a great thing that the ref jumped in because there was no chance Means was getting up. No shot at all.
Promises of violence were delivered when @NikoHybridPrice KO’d Tim Means in the first. #UFCWichita

I hope Means gets well soon, but something tells me he won’t be fighting for a long time.
