Goodale was declared the winner, though he noted he didn’t know how Pliev may have lost the finger.
"I can’t remember anything, I don’t know," Goodale said. "I got hit by something big, I don’t remember what happened. I’m just being honest. I don’t remember what happened. I’ll have to watch the tape myself, I don’t remember anything."

CM Punk, a former WWE wrestler who had about 15 minutes in UFC, was on the broadcast and couldn’t believe it.
"I don't understand exactly what happened," Punk said, via CBS Sports. "We're not gonna replay it for you, ladies and gentlemen, but it wasn't a compound fracture. It wasn't a dislocation, a break, a laceration. His finger was just gone. It's gone. It fell off, ripped off."
