'Shouldn't have been stopped': Pros react to Joanderson Brito's bloody leg cut win at UFC 301

Original source (on modern site) | Article images: [1]

Joanderson Brito kicked his way into a bloody — yet unusual — UFC 301 win.

Brito defeated Jack Shore in the preliminary card headliner on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro after opening up a massive gash on Shore's leg with a gnarly series of kicks. After thorough examination by a ringside physician, Shore was deemed unable to continue midway through the second round, with the broadcast later explaining that the doctor felt Shore could've broken his leg.

But not everyone agreed with the doctor's decision. Check out how the MMA world reacted to Brito's unusual TKO win at UFC 301 below.

That shouldn't have been stopped, and that doctor didn't need to be digging his damn fingers in the cut to make it worse.

It's a cut. The bone wasn't broken.

Play on. #UFC301
