The UFC 244 octagon-side physician further said that he made an objective call based on his assessment of the fighter, not just the cuts on Diaz’s face but the overall assessment of the fighter and how the fight was going made him take the tough call. According to Dr Sethi, he felt that he could not guarantee the health and safety of Diaz for going forward in the fight and he had to make the decision as a physician.
