This sucks. Condit damaged Hughes. Hughes damaged Condit. they both recovered to a level playing field after round 1. And then complete and total trash. Hughes punched Condit. Condit recieved hughes punches. And his eye swelled the hell shut. Doctors in this league are really finicky about only letting guys fight if they can see who/what they are fighting. I think it dates back to ManMMA 4.5 (unsanctioned, streetfight edition), when a fighter started swinging at Dan Miragliotta and Dan KOed the bugger. He never fought in ManMMA ever again.
