The physician also backed Munhoz's decision not to continue, as he believes that 'one eye vs. Sean O'Malley' could prove to be dangerous. Urging fans to stop doubting 'The Young Punisher', Dr. Abbasi said in a video on his YouTube channel: "Post-fight, where he is standing next to Glover Teixeira, his eye was absolutely closed. I mean, I don't think you could fake that. You could see how swollen it is. From medical perspective, we do see this at ringside where the fighter's eye will swell shut and the inability to open it up. So absolutely was the right call here to not continue to fight. I think one eye vs. Sean O'Malley is begging for trouble. I hope these guys are able run it back. But stop messing with this guy, Pedro Munhoz."
