Bruno Silva needs stretcher after scary KO loss
Barriault headed into UFC 315 on the back of three consecutive losses inside the Octagon.
The Canadian fan favorite was in tears after ending his awful run of form in front of a hometown crowd at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.
Silva was knocked out by a nasty elbow to the temple before being hammered with several unnecessary ground strikes when he fell face-first to the floor.
Worryingly, the man who previously went the distance with Alex Pereira remained on the canvas for a very long time
Silva was unable to get back to his feet, so a stretcher came in and carried him out of the cage.
The middleweight veteran immediately headed to the hospital to be checked over following his loss.
Fans express concern for fallen UFC 315 star
“Scary stuff Bruno Silva leaves the octagon in a stretcher, hope he’s good,” one fan commented. While another asked: “Is Silva ok?”
“Wishing Silva a full recovery,” someone else said.
“Can’t remember the last time a UFC fighter got taken out on a stretcher. Maybe a weird landing on the neck? Brutal,” a fourth fan theorized.
“That’s insane. Prayers up,” another concerned X used added.
“Man that was bad hope he’s alright,” a sixth fan tweeted.
