While the cageside doctor may have been skeptical, Victor Henry was in agony after absorbing an inadvertent low blow from Javid Basharat at UFC 294.

Ultimately, Henry was unable to continue following the foul, and the bantamweight bout was ruled a no contest 15 seconds into Round 2. Henry, who was reportedly vomiting back stage and went to the hospital after the fight, gave a positive update on his condition via social media on Monday.

“A little update for you guys: doctors said no permanent damage to my pills but I’m gonna walk a little funny for a couple days,” Henry wrote. “Swelling has gone down a significant amount after sleeping with ice on my smooth criminals, which isn’t very easy to do.

“For those of you calling for a DQ don’t be ridiculous. I don’t think my opponent had ill intentions to kick my nuts. He threw a legal strike that just so happen to hit an illegal spot. Totally not his fault, but that’s MMA.”

Basharat wasn’t as understanding in the aftermath. The unbeaten Xtreme Couture representative recently announced plans to appeal the no contest, claiming that he made Henry “quit” with a legal kick.
