"According to Henderson's agent, Jason Genet, late in the fifth round, Donald Cerrone's heel caught Henderson in the left eye and badly injured it. That's why his eye was very swollen in the post-fight interview with Versus' Todd Harris.

Genet said that when Henderson reached the locker room, he collapsed and stopped sweating. He was then rushed to the hospital and needed four IVs to get rehydrated. Henderson was eventually moved to three different emergency rooms, and it was finally decided that he needed to see an eye specialist because it was feared that he might have a detached retina.

Thankfully, it was determined on Sunday morning that his retina was not detached and that he will not need surgery. Genet said Henderson still can't see out of his left eye, and is scheduled to see his eye specialist in Phoenix on Tuesday to get a final diagnosis."

According to some very reliable sources. His mom and his brother,Ben did not collapse he merely sat down in the dressing room. He did go to the hospital for dehydration and they gave him a couple bags of fluids. they then went to a 2nd hospital because there was an ophthalmologist on duty and they wanted someone look at the swelling form an up kick in the 5th round. This was a precautionary measure only as he had recently had PRK laser surgery to improve his vision.
