Dustin Jacoby scored a second round TKO victory over Julius Walker on the main card of UFC Vegas 113.
A victorious Jacoby believes he may have suffered a knee injury during the fight ending sequence against Walker.
“I’ve had Dan several times, and I’ve always had good luck with him,” Jacoby told MMA Fighting. “So I can’t complain. What I will say, when I dropped Julius that first time, he came in and he touched me with his chest and he waved his arm briefly, his left arm. So at that moment, I’m like you just stopped the fight! He backed up and he’s like ‘I didn’t stop the fight.’ I was like you touched me! He goes ‘I didn’t f*cking touch you, keep fighting.’ So at that moment, Julius had grabbed my leg pretty hard. While I’m arguing with Dan, I go to pull my leg out and I actually kind of tweaked my knee. I had to go get an MRI yesterday. I’m waiting to find out. I may have torn my meniscus again. My left meniscus was torn, I think I torn my right one during that moment right there.”
The win for Jacoby over Walker was his third straight in the UFC, with the other two coming over Vitor Petrino and Bruno Lopes.
Jacoby even remembers thinking that his knee hurt immediately after the fight with Walker.
“Even after the fight, I was trying to think why does my knee hurt?” Jacoby explained. “I don’t ever recall taking a kick on the inside. It never hurt when I was kicking. I was like the only thing I can think of when he came up and touched me, when I tried ripping out, I think that’s when I kind of tweaked it. It had to have been. Nothing else happened. There I was after the fight because your adrenaline’s going, you don’t feel everything during the moment. Right after the fight, I just felt exhausted, I didn’t feel anything sore until 10 minutes [later after] you walk out of the cage you’re like holy shit, this hurts, this hurts, this hurts. That knee had to have been from that.”
