Every time I see the highlights from the Benavidez v. Figueredo fight I get more CTE. Imagine getting concussed three times, and then having all the blood cut off from your brain that’s just trying to keep your **** connected.

Never really seen anyone still look like they were unconscious while sitting on the stool. Dude looked in bad shape. Scary stuff, would be curious to see how Hawes looks against a legit ufc fighter.

Malkoun was absolutely accurate in his pre fight prediction that there was gonna be a finish in the fight, but I bet he thought his debut in the UFC as a 4 - 0 Fighter would last longer than 18 seconds... Phil Hawes absolutely viscious, just what all us MMA Fans tune in to watch... Destruction... Fantastic performance from Hawes, can't wait to see how his career at Middleweight develops 🤔🥊👊👍

Nice punches by Phil Hawes. I predicted wrong but was happy with that finish, but wow he looked hurt afterward, certainly scary.
