Yes, that's actually his leg and yes, it does appear to be broken:
Just two fights into the UFC Fight for the Troops benefit show on Wednesday night in Fayetteville, N.C., and the show quickly took a downhill turn.Damn. I don't think Mr. Miyagi would be able to rub his hands together fast enough to fix this one.
After Justin McCully opened the show by rebounding from a UFC 86 loss to Gabriel Gonzaga, by decisioning Eddie Sanchez, Dale Hartt nabbed his first win in the Octagon. Winning the way that he did, however, probably couldn't have been any worse for Hartt, unless he was his opponent, Corey Hill.
MMAWeekly.com had Hill winning the opening round of the fight. But during the second stanza, Hill threw a leg kick that Hartt checked with his shin. As Hartt checked the kick, Hill's leg broke in a rather grotesque manner, leaving the crowd in a stunned silence as Hill crumbled to the mat.

Gnarly!
With the power these guys can generate in a kick it's not surprising. It appears to have hit high up towards Hartt's knee, and the weight transfer as Hill resumed his stance finished the fracture. Or the total damage was already done. Hard to tell.
Hill is a fine fighter. 2 years getting over that though.
