Blanco took Corassani down and started unloading heavy blows, trying to end the fight quick. Corassani was attempting to wall-walk his way back to his feet until he ate a knee to the skull. The issue? Corassani&#8217;s hand and knee were on the ground, deeming the knee an illegal blow to the head of a downed opponent.<\/p>\n<p>After the bout was paused due to referee intervention, Corassani immediatly asked &#8220;What happened?&#8221; which is never a good sign. After a minute of watching Corassani roll around the mat writhing in pain, the referee decided to stop the bout.<\/p>\n<p>Akira Corassani was awarded the disqualification victory.<\/p>\n<p>He posted an update on <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/hYk3gSqHs9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> of the injuries he suffered which includes a broken nose in five different places.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Broke my nose in 5 places which was not as bad as the concussion from the knee. The dizziness got worse gradually and I was rocked as hell. Truthfully I don&#8217;t remember much but this was not the way I wanted to win, I was more than ready for this fight and due to a stupid move the fight was ruined.
