Jimy Hettes NEWARK, N.J. – UFC President Dana White admitted he was a little quick on the trigger when a doctor shut down Jimy Hettes in his fight against Diego Brandao on Saturday. In the second fight at UFC on FOX 15, Diego Brandao (19-10 MMA, 5-3 UFC) got a TKO victory over Hettes (11-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) when a doctor from the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board said Hettes’ exploded left cauliflower ear was a bit to gruesome and dangerous to continue. Initially, White posted his criticism on Twitter , saying, “You have to be kidding me New Jersey!!!!!” But two minutes later, he backtracked when he saw just how bad Hettes’ ear was: “Ok nevermind New Jersey. His ear was broke in half, good call!” UFC on FOX 15 took place at Prudential Center in Newark. The main card aired on FOX following prelims on FOX and UFC Fight Pass.
