UFC heavyweight Adam Milstead suffered a gruesome knee injury at UFC Fight Night 104 in Houston, Texas, resulting in a TKO defeat to Curtis Blaydes at the event.



The injury was not without controversy. To viewers at home, it was clear Milstead tweaked his knee in Round 1, and his corner—including coach Mark Cherico—allowed him to trot out for Round 2, where the situation was amplified.



Today, FloCombat's Hunter Homistek caught up with Cherico, and the Cherico's Mixed Martial Arts owner explained their decision to let Milstead fight in detail.
