Henry Cejudo offers a health update
Cejudo seemed to be in order when he joked about being brothers with one-eyed MMA legend Michael Bisping during an interview after the fight but he was still sent to the hospital to be checked by doctors after UFC Seattle.
“Diplopia, damage to soft tissue, villains of the cornea. “He wanted a way out” #ufcseattle, “tweeted the 38-year-old next to a photo of his damaged eye after he had judged his injury by medical professionals.
Cejudo also went to Instagram to discuss his last fight and the harmful eye chocke it ended.
“Guys, we wanted to finish the fight, man,” he said.
“It is clear that I was punctured with two damn fingers. I am usually good when I am punctured. The same reason I smiled and such – but after those five minutes I was still nothing. It is not that I could see nothing, I saw double.
“I have just returned from the hospital and I don't even know the term. Diplopia? It is when you get tissue damage in your eye, you almost scratch your retina where you can see double.
He added: 'It's a shame, man. I want to give a big scream to Bisping. He came out of his back and said, “I lost an eye because of something that people think is a joke.”
“I'm going to see a specialist tomorrow, and hopefully this thing will pass. Hopefully the double vision I feel now and I am normal tomorrow because it sucks, guy. It is crazy and you get a bit nauseous. “
Henry Cejudo wants control change after Eye Poke
Cejudo is of the opinion that the UFC should implement a change of rule after his fight with Yadong.
UFC referees can currently only use repetitions to assess illegal strokes that take place at the end of the fighting.
'Did the song do it intentionally? No. Should a point be deducted? 100 percent, man, “Cejudo continued.
“I just hope that the UFC might allow repetitions for things like that, and then the referee can make the decision or [it’s a foul].
“If Jager is one of the first things that the referee says, if they go in the back,” you can't stick your fingers like that. “I think the warning was already said before the fight. I finally got F – ING with two Fingers.
“The song once came [at me] After having received that five minutes break, I saw four arms, guy. It's a shame.
“I think there are many things we can do. It is not the fault of the number. I am not P – on him. But I will say this, Jason Herzog, I am curious to talk to you, man. I was kicked in the balls a few times and then the eye poked.
“Bro, something has to be done. I think we can also learn as referees. I also think for the UFC, maybe there must be something where there is a repetition, where the referee can see the repetition. Even if it was not intentional, you still can't do this. “
