Controversy reeled it’s ugly head at UFC Fight Night 239 when Bryan Battle accidentally poked Ange Loosa in the eye, causing their co-main event bout to end in a no contest.
Loosa says his eye is still injured and he plans to see a specialist when he returns to Florida.
“That’s hard to take,” Loosa said to MMA Junkie. “I’m very disappointed. My eye is still hurting. This is not the way I wanted this fight to end up. That’s it. I don’t have much to say. I’m very disappointed. Yeah, that’s the way it ended up.
“… (The UFC) wants to send me to an ophthalmologist. I have to see another one back in Florida. We will check and see what’s going on, but I feel like there’s something inside (my eye). It’s itchy and hurting a little bit. We’ll check the eye and see how it goes from there.”
Battle claimed that Loosa was looking for a way out of their fight, which led to a post-fight altercation between the two in the Octagon.
The fighter would like a rematch with Battle so they can settle their issues once and for all.
“The only way to fix that is to run it back,” Loosa said. “… He didn’t win the fight. He didn’t lose the fight. Like I said, this is unfortunate. This is not the way I wanted this fight to end up. Yeah, if I was able to fight back, I’d fight back for sure. I wasn’t expecting to have the fight stop like that. I thought I’d maybe have more time, to be honest. But my eye was really damaged. If they give me the opportunity to fight him again, for sure I’m going to take it.”
