Damn Jourdain didnt get a FOTN or POTN, thats cold blooded!
Props for changing your opinion based on additional information. The vast majority of people won't do that.I missed a lot of that because I'm overseas, and so I'm watching the fights in a language that I don't understand. So I didn't hear the commentary describing the injury or any of that. I just saw an eye poke, which I've seen a million times before, and then him crying, which I've never seen except for the last UFC. So, I thought the reason he was crying was the same reason as Sterling was crying: trying to get the win. Then I watched the replay and saw how fucked up his eye was... So yeah I take all that back now. I just didn't all that information at first to form an educated opinion. Now I do, and I take it back.
Yeah it was certainly interesting. It was emergency surgery since I had been ignoring the blind spot in my left eye for months until I was basically blind in one eye. Apparently if I had waited much longer I would have lost vision in the eye and probably the eye itself.Well at least it went well! Detached Retina can be proper fucked.
It was super indescribably weird. They gave me a drip so I was feeling great, then they have me a shot which blacked out my left eye, and put a cloth over my right.Oh yeah the drugs definitely balance it out a bit lol. Still being conscious during the surgery must be very weird feeling, like everything in our animal brain must be saying this is wrong nobody should be messing with my eyes

In the bright side, I guess I could get a cybernetic eye. Infrared and shit.

I sure can, Sherbro!H p e y u can see RvrYTHING much b E t R now My friend A es!
I cant decide which one of these is the wildest looking swelling in UFC history
Good thing that it all worked out in the endIt was super indescribably weird. They gave me a drip so I was feeling great, then they have me a shot which blacked out my left eye, and put a cloth over my right.
Then they went into my eye and basically welded my retina back on. The whole time the surgeon was just chatting about random shit with his nurses. Vacations and stuff. They would ask me questions too. It was surreal.
A few hours later the drugs wore off and my eye started to hurt. A few months later it stopped hurting, and a few months after that I could see again.
The first time I saw a blob of light was one of the best feelings I can imagine.
Thanks, dude. Sometimes I feel like I really dodged a bullet.Happy to hear it worked out.
Yeah man. Glad it's a happy story and not a damn tragedy. This Main Event was so incredibly disappointing. Feels like a gutpunch.Good thing that it all worked out in the end
Exactly
It sounds like you did. That is definitely something to be thankful for.Thanks, dude. Sometimes I feel like I really dodged a bullet.
I certainly am. Thanks, Sherbro!It sounds like you did. That is definitely something to be thankful for.
Yeah it was heartbreaking to see Belal like that. Like im sure he was hurting but that was pure panic that he might never see from that eye again. Like seriously I doubt he was crying from pain, I bet he was feeling like he was gonna be blind from now onYeah man. Glad it's a happy story and not a damn tragedy. This Main Event was so incredibly disappointing. Feels like a gutpunch.
It happens to the best of us.That and he's wearing like a extra 30lbs never seen his face that round...
I could feel his pain because I know that fear. It's really scary and I'm not even a little bit ashamed to admit it.Yeah it was heartbreaking to see Belal like that. Like im sure he was hurting but that was pure panic that he might never see from that eye again. Like seriously I doubt he was crying from pain, I bet he was feeling like he was gonna be blind from now on
Of course, bud. Best of luck moving forward!I certainly am. Thanks, Sherbro!
