A right is blocked. Munhoj with an inside leg kick. More Munhoz low kicks. O’Malley pops him with a jab. Munhoj takes her back but then turns a blind eye. Oh. The referee is bringing the doctor in. Munhoz says that he cannot see anything except blackness in one eye. The referee clearly doesn’t want to call it quits and is giving him more time. The doctor says that his eye is damaged, so he was forced to remove it. Unintentional dishonesty, and it’s no contact. O’Malley immediately hugs Munhoz and apologizes. It’s all good sportsmanship, just an unfortunate incident.
