MMA fans were left wincing while watching an undercard fight at Cage Warriors 187.
The promotion that previously showcased Conor McGregor held an event in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday night.
The event largely delivered exciting fights with significant knockouts and submissions.
However, a controversial moment occurred during an undercard match between flyweights Redgie Hingston and Gary Priestly.

Fighter Lands Three Nut Shots in One Round
Less than two minutes into the first round, Priestly struck low while attempting a knee to his opponent`s stomach.
The same incident happened again a minute later when the fighter, with a record of 2-2-1, threw another knee from the clinch.
A third and final groin strike landed when the fighters exchanged blows in the center of the cage.
Hingston received a direct kick to his groin before the referee finally penalized his opponent with a point deduction.
This point deduction proved crucial as the fight concluded in a draw after three rounds. Without the point deduction, Priestly would have won by unanimous decision with 29-28 scorecards due to the low blows in the first round.
“Lmao 3 nut shots in one round just now at Cage Warriors. Has to be a record,” one fan commented. Another added: “The one knee was to the thigh, but damn bro come on. How is he gonna try to protest it?”
“That’s nuts,” someone else remarked.
“How does it take 3 nut shots in a round for a point to be removed?” a fourth fan questioned.
“Fight of the night,” one user on X declared.
“3 ball shots isn’t accidental,” a sixth fan commented.
Fans Beg Dana White to Sign Cage Warriors Star
Cage Warriors has been a starting point for some of the most prominent British fighters in MMA history.
Notable names like Michael Bisping, Arnold Allen, Paddy Pimblett, and Dan Hardy all began their careers there.
Currently, another Cage Warriors prospect is gaining attention as the potential next big star.
Fans are urging Dana White to sign Luke Riley, an undefeated featherweight with an 11-0 record who trains with Pimblett.
Leading up to UFC London, Molly McCann, also Riley`s teammate, suggested that his signing with the UFC was imminent.
However, a month has passed without any updates regarding a potential agreement between White and the highly touted UK prospect.
