Devin Powell fought at UFC Argentina with hematoma inside eyeball

No stranger to scary injuries, Devin Powell found himself having to battle through one this past weekend.

The UFC lightweight took to Instagram on Tuesday to share his harrowing tale of being blind in one eye for part of his bout in Buenos Aires this past Saturday against Jesus Pinedo at UFC Argentina. According to Powell, a hematoma inside his right eye caused it to fill with blood in the second round, and he couldn’t see out of it from that point forward.

Powell, who would go on to lose a unanimous decision to Pinedo, also shared a shot of his swollen foot, though he downplayed the severity of his fight night damage, writing that there were “no detached retinas” and that his foot was not broken.
