Gary A. Vasquez / USA TODAY

Long and lanky MMA fighter George Roop's latest bout ended abruptly when he injured his leg at ROAD FC 31 Saturday in South Korea.

It was the first appearance for Roop since he was cut by the UFC last September. The injury came shortly after Roop attempted to kick the body of opponent Yoon Jun Lee.

Roop was clearly unable to put any weight on his leg and the fight was called off at the 1:15 mark of the opening round.
