Both fighters were injured. Junior Dos Santos tore his meniscus, and 11 days ago was on crutches. He took a cortisone shot before going out and knocking out Cain in the 1st round. On the other hand, Cain had a bad knee going into the fight, but sucked it up and fought. Both warriors.
Fights can go on for all five rounds, or they can end quick like tonight. It's the beauty, and the violence of MMA that sets it apart from other combat sports. That, and fighting in every range, striking, clinch, and grappling.
