Suspicious details emerge regarding Matt Mitrione vs. Travis Browne bout

Back in January at ‘UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz’ Matt Mitrione suffered one of the most gruesome eye injuries in the history of MMA at the hands of Travis Browne.

Mitrione was poked in the same eye twice by Browne, which subsequently lead to him being unable to see out of that eye. Due to this, Mitrione couldn’t see a punch coming and had his orbital broken.

What caught many fans as strange was that referee Gary Foreman never deducted a point from Browne, despite ‘Hapa’ poking Mitrione in the eye a second time.

While Mitrione has recently appealed the loss with the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission, it has also been discovered that Foreman had some suspicious activity on Twitter before and after the bout.

Holy…wow. He tweeted that BEFORE my fight with Travis? That's wildly inappropriate. @garyaforman https://t.co/GFoTfNBkg7

No, @garyaforman did not tweet me asking about my eye but I'm sure Travis' leg really appreciated your concern! https://t.co/LpyJRQ5hWt
