Waldo Cortes-Acosta is calling out Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight king Tom Aspinall.
Cortes-Acosta faced Aspinall’s teammate Ante Delija in the co-main event at UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday at The Apex in Las Vegas. The bout was initially stopped after a volley of punches from Delija went unanswered by Cortes-Acosta. However, the replay revealed that Cortes-Acosta was poked in the eye by the Croatian. The contest resumed, and “Salsa Boy” knocked out Delija (26-7) to earn a performance of the night bonus.
Cortes-Acosta revealed that his vision was only worsening but it was adrenaline that helped him push through.
