As a spokesman for Wanderlei and his team, we are PISSED with this stoppage. I know Wander's eyes are prone to bleeding and swelling from all the wars, but let the man fight!! Half-jokes aside, both men were just getting started and despite not being able to see, Wanderlei still had about 75% of his health left, compared to Forrest's 95%. There was some war left to be had, but you can't (and shouldn't) argue with the doctors. Or former prison inmate Josh Rosenthal, in this case.
