Richard Shore, the fighter’s father and coach, expressed disappointment with the doctor’s decision on social media.
“Well, what can we say? Ref stops the fight for doctor’s opinion on a cut shin,” Richard Shore wrote. “Doctor stops the fight. I kick off and say it's a cut on the shin, we can continue. Jack asks to continue. The cutsman says to the doctor he can work the cut and stop the bleeding.
“Doctor says it's fractured? Fight over. We get taken to hospital. Have an X-ray and no fracture. Couple of stitches and sent us home. Let fighters fight. We were chasing the fight but still comfortable and confident. Awful way to end a fight. Jack is devastated.”
We will see you all soon. Gutted. Let fighters fight.@ufc @UFCEurope @danawhite pic.twitter.com/CR3DoVIwvH

While the circumstances were unusual, Brito nonetheless extended his finishing streak to five within the Las Vegas-based promotion. A former Cage Warriors champion, Shore is now 6-2 during his UFC tenure.
