A preliminary bout at UFC 294 quickly and unexpectedly turned into a disturbing and odd scene Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
“It wasn’t your balls,” is what the cageside physician told Victor Henry after the fighter spent over two minutes writing, crying, and yelling out in pain as he rolled around on the ground.
“Oh no, it was all d*ck and balls,” Henry returned. “My d*ck was the most.”
An errant kick by opponent Javid Basharat ended his bantamweight bout and created quite an unusual scene at Etihad Arena on Yas Island.

Referee Lukasz Bosacki disagreed with the doctor’s initial assessment and ruled the blow a foul. When the five minutes allotted to Henry for recovery concluded without necessary improvement, the fight was declared a no contest at 0:15 of Round 2.
The doctor’s pushback to the agonized fighter struck a nerve with the UFC commentary crew, including play-by-play lead man Jon Anik. After Henry was assisted to the back by coach Josh Barnett and commission officials, Anik updated viewers the fighter vomited backstage.
This bout has been called to a stop.
