'Wunderbar!': Fighter fixes dislocated shoulder, then KO's opponent

MMA fans in Germany have seen a remarkable display of sportsmanship after a fighter dislocated his left shoulder attempting a right punch.

Arkadiusz Wroblewski was in obvious discomfort when he missed the shot on opponent Paata Tschapelia just 40 seconds into the first round of a fight in Germany in December.

Wroblewski walked to his corner and attempted to continue the fight before he decided he was in too much pain.

Tschapelia was shooed away from the referee after a first attempt to help, but after Wroblewski's doctor couldn't help his opponent tried again.
