And he broke the orbital in Rd 2.
The fight went until the 5th
Tough
Sucks happening to a seemingly really nice guy
His corner should have stopped it after the 4th round. It was obvious he didn’t want to continue. He’s a warrior no doubt.

Take a break,then come back strong with a warm-up fight.maybe he can welcome Rumble Johnson back to the UFC.
10eroftheyear -That was about as brutal of a prolonged beating as I've seen in mma, thought for sure the corner would call it between the 4th and 5th. When they came out and started giving instructions I couldn't believe it.
Did you even watch the Gaethje fight bro?

Yep, he will likely never recover from this one.
Shameful from his corner
I think he will never be the same and it’s the corner’s fault.. some fight it’s better to pull him out and allow him to fight another day than to fuck him up physically and mentally so bad that you will never be able to recover.
Junior Dos Santos is perfect example

Broken orbital bone is usually a career ending injury no?
PoopingTom -Broken orbital bone is usually a career ending injury no?
According to the ug, yes.
In reality, No. Not at all.

Agreed time to hang em up
Forrest Spliffn -I feel when a fighter tells his corner about an injury....the fight is pretty much over.
"My teeth are falling out"
"My jaw is broke"
People are in survival mode at that point
We saw it with colby and macee too.
Colby and Macee were at least still fighting competitively. Smith was fully in survival mode. That’s what made it most difficult to watch.

Do you even watch fight sports ?
It seems like water ballet might be better suited for your delicate sensibilities.

His corner should have thrown in the towel.

Exactly right. That’s their way of saying save me while not having to say I quit.
I’m honestly not sure how anyone that watched that lets any of those guys corner them in the future. Glover never slowed down or faded one bit. He hits very hard and it was pretty obvious Smith was done after the 2nd round. I’m not sure how they let him go out for the 4th or 5th rounds.
