Talk about an unfortunate and likely painful end to Friday’s Legacy FC 55 event.

During the AXS TV-televised headliner, which took place at Arena Theatre in Houston, heavyweight Brice Ritani-Coe (4-3) couldn’t continue after opponent Justin Ledet (6-0) accidentally caught him with a thumb to the eye.

According to broadcaster Michael Schiavello, the poke actually cut open the eye of Ritani-Coe, who was immediately taken to the hospital.

Ritani-Coe’s status wasn’t immediately known, and it’s not clear if Legacy FC officials will rebook the bout.

Check out the highlights of the unfortunate ending above.

They also include Isaac Villanueva (11-7) earning a unanimous-decision victory over fellow middleweight Brandon Farran (12-12), Bilal Williams (6-2) choking out middleweight Artenas Young (10-11), Alex Black (10-4) tapping out 150-pounder Edgar Juarez (3-4), flyweight Roberto Sanchez (5-0) earning another decision win by tapping out David Waters (3-1), and welterweight Jason Langellier (4-0) connecting on a slick knee to Jeremiah Jones (2-5) to force a TKO stoppage.
