Well in MMA they don't wear helmets. Also, I'm no doctor but you don't fracture someone's cheek bone by punching them in the back of the helmet.
Lastly, Brouwer needed to step up for the teams best player and let people know that just because he isn't chucking the knuckles every game, he is not going to stand by and watch players take liberties on Smith. And he did so with authority.
Unfortunate that Abdelkader was injured but perhaps he will think twice about getting in Smith's grill next time these teams meet.
