Doctor Tries To Tell A UFC Fighter (Who Is In EXCRUCIATING Pain From Being Kicked In The Balls) That He Didn't Just Get Kicked In The Balls
This was one of the more bizarre moments I could recall taking place in the octagon recently.
Victor Henry just got kicked square in the balls by Javid Basharat in the second round of their bout at UFC 294, and he was unfortunately in so much pain they had to call the fight and put it down as a no contest.
Personally, I don't think I've ever seen a UFC fighter screaming in agony quite as much as Henry screamed in agony tonight, and he had to be helped out of the octagon and carried to the back, where he started throwing up and was transported to a hospital for testicular ultrasounds....
In the midst of Henry going through this, though, while he was rolling back and forth in EXCRUCIATING pain, a doctor entered the octagon to inform him that he actually didn't get kicked in the balls. "It was a leg kick", he said. No balls. Totally legal.
Jon Anik's immediate outrage to that statement is so hilarious (and professional, swapping "balls" for "testicles") but it was also incredibly relatable, because I was screaming the same shit at my TV when I heard this. I mean - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
For a second, I actually thought they might rule it a TKO for Basharat with how much they were going back to the replays - none of which were super clear - and commentary was hearing it might've been a "leg kick"….
….but it felt like everybody on the broadcast team felt the same way - you just can't fake what he was going through. Sometimes you gotta just believe a guy.
He'll probably be pissing blood for days, and you know what? I hope that clown ass doctor sends him an Edible Arrangement at the very least. Don't question a grown man writhing in pain telling you he just got kicked in the dick and balls.
Speaking of clown-ass doctors, what is going on with this event???
Everyone's just fightin with staph tonight?! Dudakova's got it in places she doesn't even wanna talk about?!
I hope everyone fighting on this card has a shower ready to go the SECOND they're done fighting. That shit is gross.
