Gruesome eye injury picked up on UFC Argentina card

Devin Powell has had a rough 2018 in terms of injuries

You might remember that, in February, Powell suffered a ruptured testicle after being hit with a knee below the belt courtesy of Joe Lauzon during a training session. Powell recovered from that injury to earn a first-round victory over Alvaro Herrera in July, but he's back on the sidelines following his defeat to Jesus Pinedo in Argentina on Saturday night. https://twitter.com/JoeLauzon/status/963585937635725314 Powell fell to 1-3 in the UFC after coming out the wrong side of a unanimous decision in a back and forth encounter which caused the "scariest injury" he's ever suffered in a fight. The New Hampshire fighter has revealed that he went blind in one eye for several hours after suffering a hematoma inside his eyeball. Writing on Instagram, Powell said: "So that was the scariest injury I’ve had in a fight. In the middle of the second round I suffered a hematoma inside my eyeball. My whole right eye filled with blood (as you can see in the photo) making me completely blind in that eye all the way up until I left the hospital that night. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYPc8VHTxG/ "No detached retinas, I am always doing a bit better and my foot isn’t broken even though it looks like a giant balloon. "I am very frustrated with the outcome, we game planned for someone who comes straight forward very aggressively but I chased him for 15 minutes except for when I was on my back and he wouldn’t engage on the ground. "All we can do is get better and find solutions for these stalling points. UFC, eager for the next one. Let’s go."
