Which Popular Brand Logo Does This Fight-Ending Cut Resemble?
What, whoa, wait just a minute....
I was scrolling through Facebook today and I ran across this in my feed. This fight was called off due to the cut. Many people on social media were comparing this cut/gash to the Air Jordan Jumpman logo. (Thanks to Bellator, Facebook user Lucas Noonan, and Twitter user Danny Brener for the images and images.)
According to the popular MMA news site mmajunkie.com:
Friday’s Bellator 181 headliner was a thriller – one that ended with an oddly shaped cut to one fighter’s forehead. In the Spike-televised main event at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla., Derek Campos (19-6 MMA, 8-4 BMMA) took the 2-1 lead in his trilogy with Brandon Girtz (14-7 MMA, 6-5 BMMA) after scoring a second-round TKO stoppage win in the 158-pound catchweight fight.
Hopefully Derek is doing ok and has a speedy recovery. It sucks he lost this fight due to TKO and lost the lead in the trilogy fight, but fighter safety is the most important consideration in MMA. Looks like these two will have to have a best of 5 series to make up for a doctor stoppage. They are technically still 1-1 without the third fight ending by doctor stoppage.
Obviously this was a very bad cut and became very messy, very quickly. Do you think the doctor's stoppage was necessary here, even though the fighter wanted to continue the bout? Sound off in the comments below!
I'll be watching this next fight when they run it back. Until next time...

That is a nasty cut! Good thing this wasn't the UFC or He'd have gotten in trouble with Reebok 😂
Thanks for the quality post. Def giving a follow. Go train!
Thanks sir! LMAO... effing Reebok. Following you back. We def need more mma and fight content and community on Steemit.
Yikes good stoppage I say, was only going to get worse
I agree. Blood loss and impaired vision are tough to deal with
That was an exciting fight. I barely got home from work and figured I could catch a couple fights. Nope. But i caught the last one and it was a good one. Too bad they stopped it early. Those two went at it for sure. Everyone seemed disappointed by the early stoppage but it was obvious from very early on, b/c of that knee, that this wouldnt last the full rounds.
Yeah I went back and watched it after I found the pics... that was a great fight!
damn , his head got F..ked :(
