Pedro Munhoz publica informe médico como prueba de su lesión ocular por su pelea contra Sean O’Malley en la UFC 276

A pesar de lo que Sean O’Malley, su oponente en la UFC 276, y otras personas puedan creer, Pedro Munhoz ha tomado medidas innecesarias para demostrar que sí tiene una lesión real.

En el segundo round de su pelea estelar, O’Malley le picó el ojo accidentalmente a Munhoz. Cuando el doctor entró a la jaula para revisarlo, Munhoz le dijo que no podía ver y la pelea se detuvo pocos minutos después de haber ocurrido el incidente, lo que resultó en que no hubiera ganador y se declarara un ‘no contest‘.

En la conferencia de prensa después de la pelea, O’Malley le dijo a los reporteros que Munhoz “100%” había buscado una salida de la pelea. Pocas horas después de la pelea, Munhoz dio su parte de la historia; dijo que, antes de la falta accidental en el segundo round que dio pie a que se detuviera la pelea, ya también había recibido un piquete en el ojo en el segundo round.

Aparentemente, la historia de Munhoz, junto con las confirmaciones de terceras personas y las fotos de sus ojos hinchados tras el incidente, no fueron suficientes para convencer a la gente de que su lesión era legítima.

Así que el lunes, Munhoz tomó un paso más para demostrar su lesión en el ojo y publicó una foto de su expediente médico en Instagram.

“Este es el informe médico del sábado en la noche”, fue lo que escribió Munhoz en su publicación de redes sociales.

Según el informe, a Munhoz se le dio un ungüento oftálmico con eritromicina, utilizado para tratar infecciones oculares. Además de eso, se le administró una tira de fluoresceína oftálmica en ambos ojos, que ayuda a detectar abrasiones en la córnea; y una solución oftálmica con tetracaína para adormecer los ojos antes de los procedimientos médicos.

El informe muestra que Munhoz debe regresar con el Dr. Emil A. Stein, un oftalmólogo de Las Vegas, para su seguimiento por la abrasión de la córnea derecha y por dolor agudo en el ojo derecho.

Mientras que no hubiera sido necesario que un luchador publicara su informe médico en línea para demostrarle a todos aquellos que no le creían, Munhoz mostró el “recibo” para demostrar que está lidiando con una lesión real de su pelea contra O’Malley.

Pedro Munhoz shares medical record to prove eye injury from UFC 276 bout against Sean O’Malley

Pedro Munhoz has gone a step further in trying to convince doubters that his eye injury is real.

Despite what his UFC 276 opponent [autotag]Sean O’Malley[/autotag] and others may believe, [autotag]Pedro Munhoz[/autotag] has gone to unnecessary lengths to prove he sustained a very real injury.

In the second round of their main card bout, Munhoz was accidentally poked in the right eye by O’Malley. Munhoz told the doctor who entered the cage to check on him that he couldn’t see and the fight was stopped a few minutes after the incident occurred, resulting in a no contest.

Speaking to reporters during the post-fight news conference, O’Malley said Munhoz “100 percent” wanted a way out of the fight. A few hours after the fight, Munhoz explained his side of the story, saying he was poked in the eye in the first round too, before the accidental foul in the second that led to the stoppage.

Apparently, Munhoz’s story along with a few third-party confirmations and photos of his swollen eyes after the fact wasn’t enough to convince people his injury was legitimate.

On Monday, Munhoz took it a step further to prove his eye injury by posting a photo of his medical record on Instagram.

“This is a Saturday night medical report,” Munhoz wrote in the caption of the social media post.

According to the record, Munhoz was given erythromycin ophthalmic ointment, which is used to treat eye infections. In addition, he was administered a fluorescein ophthalmic strip in both eyes, which aids in detecting corneal abrasions, and tetracaine ophthalmic solution to numb the eyes before medical procedures.

The record shows Munhoz is to follow up with Dr. Emil A. Stein, a Las Vegas-based ophthalmologist, for abrasion of the right cornea and acute right eye pain.

While it shouldn’t be necessary for a fighter to post their medical records online to prove to his doubters wrong, Munhoz brought out the “receipt” to show he is dealing with a real injury from his fight with O’Malley.

Pedro Munhoz says Sean O’Malley scratched his cornea at UFC 276: ‘I couldn’t see anything’

After UFC 276, Pedro Munhoz said a Sean O’Malley eye poke scratched his cornea – and was met by hundreds of insults from commenters online.

UFC bantamweight [autotag]Pedro Munhoz[/autotag] revealed he suffered an injury as a result of a fight-ending foul Saturday.

At UFC 276, the fight between Munhoz and [autotag]Sean O’Malley[/autotag] ended in a no contest due to an inadvertent eye poke. Midway through Round 2, O’Malley’s fingers raked Munhoz’s face and rendered the Brazilian fighter unable to continue, according to the cageside physician’s assessment.

Hours after the fight, Munhoz said the diagnosis from a hospital visit was a scratched cornea.

“To explain briefly what happened in the fight against Sean O’Malley, I was poked in the eye in the first round but kept fighting, and was hit with a low blow shortly after,” Munhoz said in Portuguese (English translation via MMA Fighting). “The fight restarted and we exchanged a few strikes. In the second round, that’s when I suffered another eye poke. I couldn’t see anything for 20 minutes. I was taken to the hospital and they used a special eye drop that made my eye numb so they could open my eye.

“They did an exam and the medical report I have is that there’s a scratch in the cornea all the way around it. I couldn’t open my eye because of that and couldn’t see anything. The referee asked if I could see at all and the doctor decided to stop the fight. That’s what happened tonight.”

Despite his explanation, the comments on the video post consisted of insults, criticisms and accusations of faking injury. But as one Twitter user pointed out. Munhoz, 35, has fought a who’s-who of the bantamweight division, including champion Aljamain Sterling, former champs Dominick Cruz, Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar, and Rob Font – and has never been finished in his professional career.

Munhoz did not give a timeline for his return or if he wants to rematch O’Malley, who claimed at his post-fight news conference he thought Munhoz “100 percent” looked for a way out. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), corneal abrasions can take anywhere from a day to three months to heal on average, depending on severity.

According to UFC senior vice president of athlete development Reed Harris, Munhoz’s eye swelled shut overnight. Harris added Munhoz acknowledged the foul was an accident and remained respectful toward O’Malley.

UFC 276 results: Sean O’Malley fight ends after Pedro Munhoz says eye poke left him seeing black

At UFC 276, Sean O’Malley and Pedro Munhoz both came away empty-handed after a foul left one fighter unable to continue.

[autotag]Sean O’Malley[/autotag] and [autotag]Pedro Munhoz[/autotag] both came up empty-handed at UFC 276.

The bantamweight bout ended in a no contest after an inadvertent eye poke from O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) rendered Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) unable to see out of his right eye. The stoppage came at the 3:09 mark of Round 2. The fight opened up the UFC 276 main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Prior to the stoppage, the fight played out as a technical striking match with both men patient. Munhoz landed his signature leg kicks to the lead leg of O’Malley. Meanwhile, O’Malley tried to keep Munhoz at distance as he utilized successful footwork and lengthy punches.

The foul occurred in the back half of Round 2, and instantly Munhoz winced in pain when O’Malley’s open hand raked his face. Referee Jason Herzog called in the cageside physician to take a look. Munhoz told the doctor all he could see was black. Herzog told Munhoz to take a few moments. After a follow-up conference, the doctor told Herzog he saw damage on the back of the eye. That was all Herzog needed to hear to wave off the fight.

Initially, O’Malley showboated with his signature basketball jump-shot celebration. But his mood changed and he visibly looked disappointed as he walked over to Munhoz and shook his hand.

Since the foul was deemed inadvertent, the bout was ruled a no contest.

UFC 276: Pedro Munhoz vs. Sean O’Malley odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC 276 bout odds and lines between Pedro Munhoz vs. Sean O’Malley, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a bantamweight bout on the main card, Pedro Munhoz and Sean O’Malley meet Saturday at UFC 276 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Below, we analyze the UFC 276 Munhoz vs. O’Malley odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The early prelims can be viewed on ESPN/ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET, followed by the prelims on ABC/ESPN/ESPN+ at 8 p.m. The main card on Pay-Per-View starts at 10 p.m.

Munhoz takes the walk to the octagon as the overwhelming underdog. The Brazilian fighter, a.k.a. “The Young Punisher”, has mostly been punished himself lately, going 1-4 across his first 5 outings. Each of those fights have ended up going the distance, with the only win a unanimous-decision victory over Jimmie Rivera in Feb. 2021.

Munhoz’s latest showing resulted in a unanimous-decision loss to Dominick Cruz at UFC 269. The 135-pounder has the physical disadvantage, too, as O’Malley stands 5 inches taller while holding a reach advantage of 7 inches.

O’Malley is known for his wild colored mop of a haircut, but he is much more than just a gimmick. He is a knockout machine, registering 5 KO/TKO wins in his past 6 fights, while getting knocked out himself against Marlon Vera at UFC 252. In 16 career pro fights, 12 have resulted in KO/TKO (11-1).

The favorite holds a 8.26-to-5.50 significant strikes landed per minute advantage, while also posting a 63.01% significant strikes accuracy percentage, to just 45.52% for Munhoz. The takedown and submission average numbers are basically the same for both fighters.

UFC 276 Munhoz vs. O’Malley picks and predictions

Records: Munhoz (19-7-0) | O’Malley (15-1-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

O’Malley (-300) will cost you 3 times your potential return, so avoid that. There is just no value playing the favorite straight up.

However, while Munhoz (+225) has never been knocked out in his career, he hasn’t faced a fighter with the rapid-fire punching ability of O’Malley. He never leaves things in the hands of the judges to decide. There is a special BOOSTED prop bet titled: Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk: SEAN O’MALLEY TO WIN BY KO/TKO (+180) to nearly double your return.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-110) is a good bet here despite the fact Munhoz has ended up going the distance in each of his past 5 outings.

O’Malley just doesn’t mess around, and 4 of his past 6 fights haven’t even gotten out of the first round, with 2 PPV events going into the third. As such, NO (-145): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE looks to be the safest play on the board, if you want a little more time as insurance.
