Deron Winn may not have gotten his hand raised after a tough fight with Phil Hawes this past Saturday, but he certainly is winning over fans with how he has reacted to the loss.
Winn and Hawes met in a middleweight prelim fight at UFC Austin. Winn was battered from the opening seconds of the fight with Hawes landing a flurry of big punches and elbows throughout the nearly two round bout. Referee Herb Dean finally stepped in at the 4:25 mark of the second to stop Hawes from inflicting any more damage.
Winn posted a candid and often hilarious breakdown on Monday’s fight to Instagram. He also disclosed that Hawes had broken Winn’s orbital bone within the first seconds.
“He pushed me four times and I look at Herb like: “What took you so long to stop it ?,'” Winn?”
With the victory, Hawes bounced back from his lone promotional loss to Chris Curtis at UFC 268 this past November.
