Sedriques Dumas could not continue at UFC Fight Night 259 after receiving a nasty low blow from Zachary Reese.
Early in the opening round of the middleweight bout Saturday at Noche UFC from Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, Reese (9-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) threw a kick that hit Dumas (10-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) straight in the groin, folding him to the canvas.
After taking nearly the full five minutes of recovery time, Dumas told the referee and cageside physician that he could not stand up, and it was waved off at the 0:51 mark of Round 1, resulting in a no contest.
