Brutal! Beaten By Opponent's Knee, Blake Perry's Nose Breaks Into An 'S' Shape
JAKARTA - MMA fighter Blake Perry suffered a serious injury during a fight with Marcel McCain.
During the first round of the fight, McCain was punched in the face by McCain's knee, severely shattering his nose.
It happened at Urijah Faber's A1 Combat event in Stockton, California. As the duel just started, McCain grabbed the back of Perry's head with his hands and then brought his knee into Perry's face.
Predictably, Perry's nose took a hit from the knee, and was crushed.
Perry, with his nose completely hooked after getting hit by the opponent's knee, wanted to keep fighting. However, when the doctors saw how his nose was, they decided to pull it out.
"The nose is S-shaped," said a medical professional in the ring as quoted by Marca, Tuesday.
After the duel, on social media, Perry wanted to reassure his fans by posting a statement accompanied by several videos.
"Unfortunately the doctor won't let me fight for the second round of my fight last night," Perry wrote.
"All respect to my opponent Marcel for his hard-earned win.
“Even though the fight was only one round, we took home the bonus from last night's fight.
With this message, Perry reassured all his fans and promised to fight again next weekend. He showed his ambition and desire to return to fighting.
"Thanks to everyone who checked me in. I recovered quickly and have already booked the fight for next weekend."
