The UFC 276 bout between Pedro Munhoz and Sean O'Malley was ruled a no-contest Saturday in Las Vegas.

Munhoz was unable to continue in Round 2 because of an accidental eye poke. He appeared to tell the cage-side doctor that he could not see out of his eye.

O'Malley was looking to break into the bantamweight top 10 with a victory over No. 9 Munhoz, his best-known opponent to date. The rising star was riding a three-fight winning streak, while Munhoz was 1-4 in his last five Octagon appearances.
