Walker has got UFC fans buzzing about his terrifying knockout loss to Jamahal Hill at UFC Vegas 48. The fight did not last long as ‘Sweet Dreams’ brutally put the Brazilian to sleep in the first round with a devastating temple shot. Walker immediately lost consciousness and fell backwards, hitting his head against the cage in an awkward position.
Dr. David Abbasi, MD, an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon and professional ringside physician, talked about the brain trauma that occurred in Walker’s “bizarre” knockout. According to Abbasi, the brain has a protective layer of fluid called the cerebrospinal fluid or simply CSF, which acts as a cushion to protect the brain from “sudden movements.” It prevents the brain from hitting against the inside of the skull.
In Walker’s case, the trauma was unbearable as his brain hit the inside of his skull. It forced the fighter’s brain to reset, causing him to collapse immediately.
