British UFC welterweight fighter Darren Till said he received a bad poke in the eye during training camp at Tiger Muay Thai.
I was wrestling and at one point the guy's middle finger hit me right in the eye. It only got worse as time went on, and I got worried. 'I can't turn down another fight,' I thought. But then it got better. It was a terrible poke in the eye.
