Mark Hominick went onto the Fan 590 radio morning show and commented about his gruesome head wound incurred in his bad ass title-shot bout against Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo at UFC 129 and the UFC’s plans for him getting a second title shot.
On his head wound:
“It was superficial. It looked a lot worse than it was, you know? I’ve got pair of black eyes but the swelling is down and it looked a lot worse than it was in the fight. I’m trying to avoid [seeing] some of [the photos from the fight]. Like I said, it was superficial and those hematomas…that’s just what happens in a fight. There’s swelling there and there’s nowhere for the swelling to go because you’re not cut or anything, so it just stockpiles there. I went to the hospital, got a CAT scan, everything was there, made sure nothing was broken, and nothing was broken and the CAT scan was completely fine. I put some ice on it and within two hours the swelling was gone. Both eyes are black and blue. A little swelling in the face but nothing serious. I’m wearing sunglasses and I can hide under them.”On another title-shot:
“Oh, they were thrilled. They were like, ‘Heal up and we want you back as soon as you can. In another two fights you will get another crack at the title.’ I know some of the things I have to work on to take him out. I don’t think he would be lining up to fight me to tell you the honest truth.”
Hominick also stated if he’d had another 30 seconds he may have been able to finish the fight. Read the full interview transcription at CagePotato.
We know Hominick said he’s avoiding pictures of his wound, but we at Fix think our site is looking just a slight bit too sexy lately, so we’d like to sex it down a bit with a gallery of Hominick’s hematoma below. Enjoy!
