Wow... Brutal finish just now at #CFFC84 Pat Sabatini knocked Jordan Titoni out standing and he face plants once the ref waves it off. He's leaving on a stretcher, but gave a thumbs up as he was taken out of the cage 🙏 #CFFC84

And after a worryingly long period of receiving medical attention, the grappler was then carried out of the cage on a stretcher at the Horeshoe Tunica Hotel and Casino in Robinsonville, Mississippi.
Titoni lost via standing knockout to Sabatini following a series of shots that left him out on his feet.
He was standing and leaning against the fence in the co-main event of the card.
It was a right hand that first wobbled Titoni and then a combination of punches to the body and chin forced the referee to stop the bout.
But it was the moments after the Denver-born ace fell to the mat that worries began to set in for viewers on UFC Fight Pass.
Titoni was unconscious for a scary length of time as Sabatini and his corner stood concerned looking on as medics quickly attended to the wounded warrior.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour wait, the fighter came round and he attempted to ease the fears of his fans and loved ones by giving a thumbs up as he was taken to the back for further checks on a stretcher.
