UFC 251 started with a fighter taking two horrific kicks to the groin

I don’t know what you’re doing tonight and how you’re spending your time but I do hope you have a better time than Zhalgas Zhumagulov just had in his fight at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi.

Zhumagulov, who was making his UFC debut in the early Sunday morning local time prelim fight, took a really, really, really bad kick to the groin (not that there are really any good kicks to the groin) in the third round of his bout against Raulian Paiva.

UFC great Michael Bisping is on the call tonight with Jon Anik and the two had the perfect reaction to this groin kick:

2020, am I rite?

It got worse for Zhumagulov, too, as he took ANOTHER kick to the groin just moments later and then lost the fight via a decision that should have gone his way.

Twitter had some feelings on that groin shot:

Regardless of your scorecards, Zhumagulov’s groin was the real loser of that bout.
