“We sent them both to the hospital, they’re both getting checked out. I don’t play with that kind of stuff. I mean, the fight wasn’t even over yet and I got my guy, Dave Lewis [who handles the Zuffa Boxing UK operations], and I said, no interviews, no nothing. I want both these guys to go straight to the hospital. And if there’s anything even remotely serious for either guy, I want them both med-vac’d to London. No disrespect to Bournemouth, but I’d rather have them in London if there’s anything serious. In 30 years of the UFC, there’s never been a death or serious injury. And it’s important for me to keep that run alive, especially with boxing. A lot more traumatic brain injury things happen in the sport of boxing than they do in MMA so I’m crazy about the health and safety side of it.”
