UFC 305 was momentarily brought to a halt when Australian fighter Stewart Nicoll was knocked out cold in the cage. Making his UFC debut, the 29-year-old Aussie’s flyweight clash with Mexican Jesus Aguilar ended in a horrific scene on Sunday morning. Nicoll had made a promising start until Aguilar took control with just under three minutes to go in the first round. The Mexican had Nicoll in a strong guillotine choke until he realised something was wrong.
Aguilar still had Nicoll in the hold when the referee picked the Aussie’s arm up twice to see if it was limp. When he soon realised the fighter had gone to sleep in the choke, the fight was quickly called off. Clearly concerned about his opponent, the Mexican immediately let go and bounced to his feet and tried bring Nicoll back into consciousness. He lifted the Aussie’s feet up in the air and shook them in an attempt to wake him up.
