An accidental eye poke by Sean O’Malley rendered Pedro Munhoz unable to continue in the second round of their bout at UFC 276. After a frustrating end to the fight, pro fighters reacted on Twitter.
Has Omaley has even trained with someone the caliber of Munoz? I’m feeling a wake up call?

Super afraid Pedro is going to break his foot or leg with these naked calf kicks…

Looks like no finger went in the eye to me but I’m not in there. ♂️ RE: Munhoz vs O’Malley.

O’Malley showed great composure . Had Pedro fighting his fight, was winning 2-0 with little action IMO #UFC276
