Waldo Cortes-Acosta Explains Why He Fought Through Eye Poke to Knock Out Ante Delija

Cortes-Acosta (15-2) stunned fans at UFC Vegas 110 by continuing after an illegal eye poke to knock out heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall's teammate Delija. “I was born in the Dominican Republic; everything is war there,” he said. Cortes-Acosta later called out the division's kingpin, Aspinall, adding he’d also like a bout with Curtis Blaydes to climb closer to contention.
