Saskatoon Ended
Letourneau and Holloway
Berries tear Wide Open
What a fun night of Mixed Martial Arts in Saskatoon! Maryna Moroz "Iron Woman" Moroz was bamboozled by Valerie "Trouble" Letourneau. Letourneau caught Moroz with a right cross and even though it went back and forth, Moroz never full recovered. Letourneau dominated the rest of the rounds and won by unanimous decision. This upset destroyed my prediction, I really thought Moroz was going to be able to submit Letourneau.
In a highly anticipated bout, a very unfortunate ending occurred. Charles Oliveira stopped in the middle of the 1st round clutching his throat and Herb Dean promptly stopped the match. Oliveira was chasing and Holloway was attacking in and out of range. When Oliveira shot in for a take down, Holloway defended and Oliveira was in a funny position until he got up and clutched his throat. Check out the clip below:
Speculation across the internet is Oliveira suffered an esophagus tear. Here is a nice diagram to show the esophagus. So it is kinda crazy that someone might have torn any part of that area. Definitely a freak injury that does not happen too often in mixed martial arts.
To wrap up, it was an unusual ending for what was supposed to be quite an exciting fight. My prediction was correct in the fact that Holloway won, but never in a million years would I thought someone would tear their esophagus during a match. Good luck and speedy recovery to Oliveira.
What did you think of the matchups you sweet sweet people?
