Hammerlocks don't come much more ghastly than Shinya Aoki's on Mizuto Hirota at Dynamite! in 2010. Aoki essentially pretzeled his adversary until his arm separated from its joint. To add insult to injury, he bent down and gave him the one-fingered salute immediately after.
Another bad one, but there's been worse.
Frank Mir made a career out of destroying limbs. Although a lot of people point towards jacking up Tim Sylvia's forearm as his most disgusting submission, we think his one on Big Nog takes the prize.

After his attempted body kick was caught, Royval drove him into the fence. Whatever way he put his hand against the cage, it reemerged dangling lifelessly beside his body. He tried to run away, but all he got for his troubles was a shin to the face. He absorbed a few strikes on the ground before the referee stepped in to put him out of his misery. https://twitter.com/AXSTVFights/status/992598811229929472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Elbows aren't supposed to bend that way.Former UFC fighter shot dead while out for evening walk
