Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Ben2

WEC interim lightweight champ Ben Henderson suffered a serious eye injury and severe dehydration during his war with Donald Cerrone last weekend:

"According to Henderson's agent, Jason Genet, late in the fifth round, Donald Cerrone's heel caught Henderson in the left eye and badly injured it. That's why his eye was very swollen in the post-fight interview with Versus' Todd Harris.

Genet said that when Henderson reached the locker room, he collapsed and stopped sweating. He was then rushed to the hospital and needed four IVs to get rehydrated. Henderson was eventually moved to three different emergency rooms, and it was finally decided that he needed to see an eye specialist because it was feared that he might have a detached retina.

Thankfully, it was determined on Sunday morning that his retina was not detached and that he will not need surgery. Genet said Henderson still can't see out of his left eye, and is scheduled to see his eye specialist in Phoenix on Tuesday to get a final diagnosis."

He fought that hard Dehydrated? Holy. Shit. He’s lucky his eye is the only thing still messed up…I’m worried about his eye though, not being able to see out of it for 2 days is not good.

WTF?

He was up and bouncing after the fight. Crazy. He survived all those submission attempts only to get done in by a stray heel…

Not so much stray heel, remember that vicious up kick he got hit with in the 5th round? I’m guessing that was it, because I thought it was over when it happened.
