Austin Bashi’s UFC Oklahoma City injuries revealed
Delgado landed a right hand in the opening round and Bashi’s right
eye gradually swelled shut over the remainder of their three-round
bout. Despite the damage and limited vision, the 24-year-old
completed all three rounds.
Following the fight, Bashi disclosed on Instagram that medical
evaluations confirmed minor fractures to both his orbital bone and
nose.
“All glory to GOD! A little fracture in the nose, a little fracture
in the orbital but we live to fight another day,” Bashi wrote on
Instagram along with a photo of his injuries. “Thank you so much to
all my family, fans, and team for all the love and support, love
and appreciate you all! Time to rest a little bit and get straight
back to work, I love this game and I love what I do I’ll be back
soon.”
Bashi earned a UFC contract through
Dana White’s Contender Series in 2024 and is now 1-2 inside the
Octagon, with his losses coming against Delgado and Christian
Rodriguez.
