MEXICO CITY – Daniel Zellhuber showed out for 15 minutes at UFC Fight Night 237 , something he didn’t expect to happen. The UFC lightweight prospect thought either the referee, doctor or corner of opponent Francisco Prado was going to interfere at some point in their main card bout given the amount of damage he was dishing out. Zellhuber (15-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC), who defeated Prado (12-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in a unanimous decision, was surprised that the fight wasn’t stopped.

Francisco Prado’s coach defends not throwing in towel at UFC Fight Night 237, clarifies ‘don’t need your eyes’ speech

BAD MMA News — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 22:17:22 +0000

Coach Asim Zaidi thinks his comments in the corner of Francisco Prado during Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 237 loss to Daniel Zellhuber were overblown. After a competitive two rounds of lightweight action at Mexico City Arena, Prado (12-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) returned to his corner with a badly damaged eye courtesy of punches from Zellhuber (15-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC). He told his team he could not see, which prompted Zaidi, who is the CEO of the Miami-based GOAT SHED team, to tell his fighter: “You don’t need your eyes.” Given Prado’s eye essentially was swollen shut, the comments, which were translated by the UFC broadcast, were met with skepticism about whether Zaidi was showing too much disregard for the safety of his athlete
