Deron Winn to undergo orbital surgery after 2nd round TKO loss
Derron Winn got more than he bargained for during Saturdays Prelims. Phil Hawes Managed to force the referee to step in after a relentless onslaught of strikes that left Deron dazed and disfigured. Over the nine minutes and 25 seconds of cage time, Phil Hawes managed to land 116 Significant strikes, with 99 of those being targeted to the head. Sunday, Winn revealed he suffered an orbital fracture early in round 1.
“I don’t know what to say except that I got my ass beat tonight. Got rocked early and I couldn’t fully get my legs back. I have a broken orbital bone in my face that I believe came in the first round. Will need surgery. I tried so hard in every aspect of preparing for this fight. I had to overcome some serious issues in my life to even be able to come back and step into the cage tonight or ever again for that matter. I’m sad of course. But I will hold my head high on the person I know I am becoming. My support system is out of this planet. The people who have stuck with me through the rough patches thank you 🙏🏾. I’ll be back.”
Winn appeared to be in great spirits Monday as he posted a comical narration of his fight highlight package on his instagram. Maybe he has a future career sitting next to his buddy DC in the commentary booth.
