In a UFC Fight Night 285 prelims bout at Golden1 Center in Sacramento, California, Lerryan Douglas suffered a significant loss to Jamall Emmers. The Brazilian fighter took a vicious right straight to the eye of Douglas, effectively breaking his orbital bone. Immediately after the punch landed, Douglas covered his eye and hit the canvas, signaling the end of the fight.
