XFC 16 came to Knoxville last night and delivered a great night of fights for local Knoxville fans, including a female fight between Marianna Kheyfets and Heather Clark! Both fighters started out great; Kheyfets stalked Clark throughout Round 1, firing off some punches that Clark was obligated to counter with some punches of her own.
At the end of Round 1, Clark got Kheyfets down, obtained full side control, and proceeded to get in some ground and pound until the bell rang.
Once back at her corner, however, the ref called the ringside doctor to inspect Clark's right eye: it was swollen shut so bad, she couldn't open it...and that's when the doctor called the fight.
It's really hard to figure out what caused the contusion; I've watched the fight over and over, and I just don't see it.
Watch the fight for yourself here and let me know if you see anything!
