Three days after Sam Hughes made her UFC debut, and she was still in Las Vegas, which wasn’t part of her plan. The extended stay was unexpected, but necessary, given the circumstances. In the 72-plus hours since her UFC 256 loss to Tecia Torres this past Saturday, Hughes (5-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and coach Eddie Grant of Catalyst Fight House have taken frequent trips to see the UFC’s ophthalmologist. “The doctor told us that he’s been the ophthalmologist for the UFC for 15 years, and he said he’s literally never (seen it),” Grant told MMA Junkie on Tuesday night. “He knows this injury, but he’s never seen it happen in a fight.” Hughes was diagnosed with a hyphema, or pooling of blood inside the eye.
