Nik Lentz says his time with UFC is over, cites severe loss of vision from eye poke injury

At yesterday’s UFC 257 Nik Lentz lost a hard fought split decision to Movsar Evloev. The fight saw ‘The Carny’ take considerable punishment on the feet, including a badly bloodied right eye.

The day after the bruising contest Lentz took to Instagram to share the news that his time in the UFC has come to an end.

They say don’t make rash decisions after a loss, but this one is not rash or even quick for that matter. The injury I suffered to my eyes last year was a career ender.
