A bantamweight bout between Daniel Santos and Johnny Munoz Jr. had the fans wincing in their seats after a number of low blows. Munoz took two to his groin, one in the first round and one in the third. The latter seemed to have really crippled the 30-year-old, and he looked doubtful about continuing the contest.
However, he was able to tough it out till the final minute and even found some success in the round. Unfortunately, that was not enough to get his hand raised. Santos had dominated to such an extent that he won the fight 29-27 on all scorecards, even after Herb Dean took a point from him.
But the misery did not end there for Munoz.
Johnny Munoz shares the aftermath of UFC Vegas 74 injury
Following his fight at UFC Vegas 74, Johnny Munoz received medical treatment. Later, he shared an image from the hospital that showed the extent of the damage he took.
‘Kid Kvenbo’ shared an image of the bloody urine that was a direct result of the two devastating low blows that he took. The second one landed flush as it caught Munoz right between the legs, seemingly lifting him off the ground.
“That was a nice shot to my nuts though,” wrote Munhoz with a laughing emoji added at the end of it.
Fans who saw the picture that Munoz shared felt his pain. Many of them had sympathetic reactions to the bantamweight star.
