UFC fighters Chris Duncan and Mateusz Rebecki were left severely injured after their co-main event turned violent at UFC Vegas 108 on Saturday night. Despite being the underdog, Duncan dominated the fight, leaving Rebecki disfigured and battered. Duncan won by unanimous decision, but both fighters sustained significant injuries.
Duncan, 32, emerged victorious with judges scoring the fight 29-28, 29-28, 30-27 in his favor. Rebecki, on the other hand, suffered from severe swelling in his right eye and struggled to see by the final round. The intense battle led to Duncan extending his MMA record to 14-2 in a surprising upset.
The fight garnered attention from UFC personalities, including retired fighter Dustin Poirier, who praised both competitors for their performance. Interestingly, Duncan and Rebecki were former teammates at American Top Team before facing each other in the ring, adding a unique dynamic to their match.
Rebecki, expressing the challenge of fighting a former teammate, highlighted the motivation gained from observing each other's training routines. Despite the emotional strain, Rebecki was unable to secure a victory, bringing his record to 20-3 after the defeat.
The brutal fight in Vegas followed a recent incident in UFC Abu Dhabi where fighter Mohammad Yahya suffered a severe eye injury after a relentless beating from Steven Nguyen. Yahya's eye swelled to the size of a tennis ball, setting a new record for knockdowns in a single fight in UFC history.
