Devin Powell lost a unanimous decision to Jesus Pinedo at UFC Fight Night 140, but considering the circumstances, he was fortunate to escape the lightweight bout without suffering any serious injuries.
Powell revealed via social media on Tuesday that he suffered a hematoma inside his right eye during the Nov. 17 bout at Parque Roca Arena in Buenos Aires, Argentina, an ailment which he says blinded him in that eye once it occurred in the middle of the second round. He remained unable to see until he left the hospital that night.
“So that the was scariest injury I’ve had in a fight,” Powell wrote on Instagram.
