This Is A Good Fight?

Maybe I'm missing something.
From the Las Vegas Sun:

 Hunched over the shoulders of his corner men, Jon Jones grimaced with every step as if he was walking on a bed of nails and broken glass.
Alexander Gustafsson’s exit from the Air Canada Centre after UFC 165 early Sunday morning was just as graceless. Gustafsson's hobble made it look like each of his legs weighed 400 pounds, or roughly twice the light heavyweight limit.
The main-event opponents limped to the same destination, and not their scheduled appearance at the post-fight press conference. Both wound up in an ambulance instead, headed straight to a downtown hospital where they’ll spend the night.
“That’s how good that fight was,” UFC President Dana White opened his press conference comments. “I don’t think we’ve ever had that happen. We usually have one or the other go, but they’re both going.”

So, both fighters going to the hospital after the fight is a good thing?
Color me sickened.
