Former UFC middleweight champion Murilo Bustamante had experienced similar dizziness before, but says he is still doesn’t know exactly why it happened this past Saturday leading to his loss against Jesse Taylor at Impact FC 2 in Sydney, Australia.

Bustamante, who was coming out of retirement, was visibly disoriented after a referee standup and referee “Big” John McCarthy promptly called an end to the fight at 2:10 of the second round.

“When I was playing guard during the second round, I started to get dizzy after a while, and when ‘Big’ John put us back on our feet I felt like I was badly drunk, I was dizzy and everything was spinning,” Bustamante told MMAFighting.com on Thursday. “I didn’t know at the time what happened as I didn’t get hit that hard during the fight.”
