Bibiano Fernandes regained the ONE Championship bantamweight title from Kevin Belingon this weekend, but in rather undesirable fashion. As seen on video, Fernandes was on the receiving end of illegal elbows upon completing a takedown and landing inside Belingon’s guard, resulting in a disqualification and the title changing hands.
A couple of days later, “The Flash” spoke with MMA Fighting, claiming he was experiencing untoward reactions from the shots to the head that he absorbed.
“I felt nauseated this morning, had a bad headache after the fight,” Fernandes said. “I’ll spend a few days here in Thailand because I have to, but then I’ll go back to Canada and sit down with my doctor.
