UFC on ESPN 37 was a rough night at the office for Deron Winn . On Saturday’s prelims at Moody Center in Austin, Texas, Phil Hawes (12-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) stopped Winn (7-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) with strikes in Round 2. Winn absorbed a large number of punches throughout the fight, especially in the final minute. Although he still stood as referee Herb Dean dove in, Winn was not doing enough to defend himself in the eyes of the official. While Hawes’ largely one-sided offensive performance was praised by fans and reporters, so was Winn’s heart and chin. Sunday, Winn revealed he suffered in Round 1 an orbital fracture, which will require surgery.
