A REFEREE screamed for help from a doctor after a former UFC star crumpled in agony from a kick to the testicles.
Alexander Romanov had to be carried from the cage in excruciating agony during just his second Professional Fighters League (PFL) match.
Alexander Romanov was in agony after the low kick Romanov crashed to the floor during the first round Valentin Moldavsky appeared distressed at his opponent’s fateThe Moldovan, 34, aka King Kong, was once a top UFC heavyweight prospect.
But he switched to a different Mixed Martial Art earlier this year.
And he was closing in on a PFL heavyweight title shot when a sickening blow sent him reeling.
Romanov was taking on 33-year-old Russian Valentin Moldavsky in Chicago.
And his eye-watering fate came as early as the opening round.
Romanov had been struggling to seriously trouble Moldavsky, despite landing a few of his renowned slam takedowns.
And when the younger man got up, he put on enough pressure to leave King Kong tiring.
Little more than 30 seconds were left in the first of the three five-minute rounds when the distressing moment arrived.
The pair were grasping each other on the ropes when Romanov delivered a knee to his opponent.

Moldavsky returned the blow in kind – but accidentally went too low.
Romanov instantly slumped to the floor, holding his groin – while his rival protested his innocence.
The ref yelled for medical aid as Romanov was in obvious agony and fight fans looked on worried.
Meanwhile, Moldavsky sunk to his knees, with his head down – apparently in rueful reflection
The cage-side doctor dashed over to treat the stricken giant.
And the doc soon confirmed the inevitable – that Romanov would be unable to continue.
The 18st 13lbs wrestler was then taken away on a stretcher.
It meant the bout – a PFL heavyweight tournament semi-final – was ruled a “no contest”.
Romanov had dazzled when winning his only other PFL fight in May, beating 40-year-old American Timothy May by submission.
It left the East European well placed for a title shot – until a badly placed knee in his very next fight.
There was never much doubt the fight was over at this point Read More Details
