Jared Cannonier Rushed to Hospital After a Loss in Fight
2024-08-25
After the fight that took place at UFC Vegas 96 on August 24, 2024, in Las Vegas, Jared Cannonier learned a harsh truth. He was taken to a hospital and had to receive a CT scan of his head and face. The call came after a tough five-round fight against Caio Borralho, in which he suffered a lot of damage and was nearly knocked down in the last round. This medical evaluation shows how strenuous the physical activity fight was on Cannonier thus outlining a period that was tough in his career.
During the climax of round five, Borralho stunned Jared Cannonier with a solid 1-2 punch combination that could have easily finished him off. The powerful strikes then took him down to the canvas where he was met with a series of elbows and punches from Moyle. Nevertheless, he remained conscious at the end of the round, but the effects of the punishment were so significant that he had to be taken to the hospital. Jared Cannonier was hit hard by Borralho as he stunned him with heavy punches on his head and face that led to some serious damage to him. His checkup was done in the hospital in Las Vegas.
Struggles and Setbacks of Jared Cannonier
Jared Cannonier is now 40 years old and for the first time since 2018, the fighter suffered two defeats in a row. This recent downfall is quite intriguing since just one year ago he was so close to getting a title shot in the Middleweight division. Recent losses have sparked doubts that he could stagnate the ‘king of the ring’ trend and turn into a mere ‘guardian’ of the 185-pound weight category. Lately, Cannonier has been experiencing some misfortunes, for instance, a recent loss to Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Louisville two months ago.
Having lost 2-3 in his last five fights, Jared Cannonier is at a crossroads in his career, and the fight against Smith will give him a chance to return to form. He might decide to end the 2024 season early to give him enough time to rest and plan for his next foray into the cage. Nonetheless, Cannonier was awarded the $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus for his battle with Borralho. This bonus is pretty insignificant to make up for a tough night for him and contributes a little cash-wise as he hatches his post-fight plan.
In Conclusion
Another implication of these obstacles is that the future of Jared Cannonier in the UFC organization remains unknown. The former No. 1 contender will have to reassess and plan for the next fight and wants to execute in the crowded Middleweight category. Viewers and critics will be keen to see how he will address these previous struggles and whether he may regain the form that saw him emerge as a champion in his weight division.
During this time, he will be out of commission recovering from his injury and once he is fully healed the priority will be making sure he is in the best shape possible for the next fight. What lies ahead for the ‘Killa Gorilla’ will be not only his potential career in the sport but the overall course he has established.
