In an ideal world, Jack Shore would have been allowed to continue fighting at UFC 301.
Instead, the cageside physician waved off the Welshman’s bout against Joanderson Brito at the 3:35 mark of Round 2, citing fear of a potential fracture on Shore’s shin. Brito landed several hard low kicks in the contest, but as it turns out, Shore did not sustain a fracture n defeat.
Richard Shore, the fighter’s father and coach, expressed disappointment with the doctor’s decision on social media.
“Well, what can we say? Ref stops the fight for doctor’s opinion on a cut shin,” Richard Shore wrote.
