But my man immediately took all of the attention away from the matchup when people spotted his massive black eye. (RELATED: Kick Rocks!

During the contest, which ESPN was broadcasting, cameras put Dabo on the screen because … why not?

Where else did a black eye like that come from?

We need answers, Dabo! We need answers!
