Overview

• After Friday’s weigh-ins in San Antonio, a backing car ran over Gordon’s right foot and buckled his knee inward, which he says sprained his MCL.
• Gordon considered withdrawing but chose to compete, entered the cage with an unusual knee sleeve, and was stopped by Garcia via third-round TKO.
• Belal Muhammad first disclosed the incident on X on fight night, and Gordon publicly detailed the sequence in a post two days later.
• Reporters noted Gordon’s movement appeared limited during the bout, suggesting the injury affected his performance.
• Gordon has not shared a medical prognosis or timetable, and the episode has prompted discussion about fighter safety, disclosure practices, and betting transparency.
