MMA fans were left wincing while watching an undercard fight at Cage Warriors 187.
The promotion that gave us Conor McGregor was in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday night.
Everything went according to plan as the fighter’s delivered during an epic card chocked full of big knockouts and nasty submissions.
The only downpoint came during an undercard clash between flyweight’s Redgie Hingston and Gary Priestly.
Fighter lands three nut shots in one round
Less than two minutes into round one, Priestly landed low as he attempted to knee his opponent in the stomach.
The same thing happened again one minute later when the 2-2-1 fighter threw another knee from the clinch.
A third and final groin strike landed when the two men began exchanging blows in the middle of the cage.
Hingston took a clean kick to his private’s before the referee finally deducted a point from his opponent.
It ultimately proved pivotal as the fight was scored a draw after three rounds of action. Priestly would’ve earned unaminous 29-28 scorecards if he didn’t go low with several shots during the first frame.
“Lmao 3 nut shots in one round just now at Cage Warriors. Has to be a record,” one fan wrote. While another added: “The one knee was to the thigh, but damn bro come on. How is he gonna try to protest it?”
“That’s nuts,” someone else said.
“How does it take 3 nut shots in a round for a point to be removed? a fourth fan asked.
“Fight of the night,” one X user declared.
“3 ball shots isn’t accidental,” a sixth fan commented.
Fans beg Dana White to sign Cage Warriors star
Cage Warriors has unearthed some of the greatest British fighters in MMA history.
Michael Bisping, Arnold Allen, Paddy Pimblett, and Dan Hardy all started out with them.
Now there’s another Cage Warriors prospect people are convinced is the next big thing.
Fans have begged Dana White to sign 11-0 featherweight Luke Riley, who trains with Pimblett.
Ahead of UFC London, Molly McCann, who is also a teammate of Riley, claimed his UFC signing was imminent.
A month later, there’s been no update on a potential deal between White and the UK’s hottest prospect.
