Pinheiro was taken to a local hospital for precautionary measures.Days later, Markos is seething about the result - particularly as the fight could have been called off earlier after Pinheiro caught Markos with an eye poke.An Octagonside medical official assessed Markos' eye and as she said she could see well enough to continue, the bout continued."I've been in the fight game for a while now. I've never intentionally thrown an illegal blow. It's a fight, s--- is bound to happen," <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/COZTnNMJs1t" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Markos said on Instagram</a>."I took three eye pokes (requiring stitches and loss of vision) and never thought for a second that I wasn't going to continue."On the errant foul, she said: "Yes, my foot grazed her but that my opponent's inability to continue seemed a bit oversold and suspect."I let her know after the eye poke that I wasn't leaving that cage without a win and she stole that from me."Markos, who has now lost four fights in a row, closed by saying she has something in her heart that needs to be let out. And is excited about "whatever is next."She added: "I'll be back soon."

Referee Jason Herzog was forced to call the bout off after Pinheiro's unanswered ground-and-pound.It was a statement-making performance from Pinheiro, who adds her name to an exciting 115-pound weight class in the UFC.Watch the knockout here:With victory, Pinheiro advanced her pro MMA record to eight wins (two knockouts, five submissions, and one decision) against one loss.Elsewhere on the card, Nikolas Motta and Natan Levy also earned UFC deals with White saying the latter was being highly commended by people in prominent places.<a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/11/10/21559604/dwcs-season-4-week-9-results-three-win-contracts-with-natan-levy-earning-high-praise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">As MMA Fighting reported</a>: "Levy had drawn the praise of the promotion's lawyers and Hollywood connections as a dominant fighter from Israel."Levy had dominated Shaheen Santana with his superior grappling skills in a featherweight match, before sending his opponent to sleep with an arm-triangle choke in the third round.Watch Levy sleep Santana here:The victory advanced Levy's pro MMA unbeaten record to six wins (three submissions and three decisions).It is, as of yet, unclear when Pinheiro, Levy, or Motta will make their UFC debuts, but it will likely be in the coming months.Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-vs-dustin-poirier-heading-to-fight-island-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor is going to compete on Fight Island providing 'everything goes to plans,' UFC boss Dana White says</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/khabib-nurmagomedov-will-likely-return-to-ufc-for-one-fight-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It's becoming increasingly apparent that Khabib Nurmagomedov will un-retire and return to the UFC for one more fight</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-rehearses-kicks-and-upskills-wrestling-in-portugal-camp-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor has been 'crazy motivated,' rehearsing kicks, and drilling wrestling moves at a private training camp in Portugal</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/video-youtuber-lets-ufc-fighter-kick-him-regrets-life-choices-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A YouTuber let a UFC fighter leg-kick him repeatedly, saw his hamstring go blue, then immediately regretted his life choices</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/photos-max-pain-griffin-almost-rips-ufc-opponents-ear-off-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An American fighter nicknamed 'Pain' almost ripped his opponent's ear off during a UFC fight, and we've got photos to prove it</a>
