[edit] The Ultimate Fighter
In his quarter-final matchup on the Ultimate Fighter 4 against Edwin Dewees, Ray was dominated throughout the first round, with Dewees getting a takedown and staying at guard for much of the round. However, in the second round, Ray, who was mounted by Dewees, hit Dewees from the bottom with an elbow and opened a large cut in Dewees' forehead. This forced referee Herb Dean to call a timeout for the doctor to assess the cut due to the large amount of blood pouring from Dewees' head. After assessing the situation, the doctor allowed the fight to continue. At the end of the first two rounds, UFC President Dana White announced that the fight had been fought to a draw, therefore the fighters would go a third round.
In the third round, Dewees continued to bleed profusely, with blood continuously and steadily pouring from his wound. The two fighters continued to grapple, rolling around in a pool of blood. Ray was clearly distressed by the amount of blood, as Dewees lay atop him and punched with one hand and held the other one over the cut, attempting to alleviate the bleeding. Dewees won the final round with a 10-9 decision, ending one of the bloodiest MMA bouts ever televised.
