Daniel Cormier Rips Jon Jones, UFC Fighter On UFC 232 Fight Stoppage, UFC Fight Pass

By Dana Becker

- Cat Zingano had her bout at UFC 232 stopped early after taking a toe to the eye from Megan Anderson. The referee stepped in, calling an end to the contest via TKO in favor of the former Invicta FC champion.

Zingano, who had trouble opening her eye after the move, took to Twitter to explain what happened. She did not need to be transported to a local hospital, instead the on-side medics were able to fix her cut eyelid.

"I was worried my eye was ruptured," Zingano posted. "They say I'll be OK. Thanks to everyone for your concern. What are your thoughts on a finger digit poke vs. a toe digit poke being ruled a TKO?"

- The upcoming calendar year will be a big one for UFC Fight Pass, as the promotion announced plans to expand the all-digital streaming service.
