It has been a week since UFC 224, but the controversy during the final moments of the fight still lingers. Raquel Pennington declared that she was “done” after a four-round beating from Amanda Nunes, but her coach urged her to continue.
Former lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez gave his take on the matter, having gone through a similar ordeal at UFC 188 almost three years ago against Gilbert Melendez in Mexico City. With both his nose and orbital bone broken during the fight, he approached his corner expressing major concern for his situation at the time.
