Fans have branded UFC star Gregory Rodrigues' latest injury as "the worst cut" in the history of the promotion after he picked up a knockout with over Chidi Njokuani.
The Brazilian middleweight was opened up between the eyes early in the fight after taking a knee from Njokuani that almost ended the bout in the opening exchanges. But he powered through and survived the round, as well a potential doctor's stoppage between rounds and came out for the next round.
In the second, Rodrigues found his rhythm, and despite the gruesome injury which had been patched up as best as his cut man could, he began to take over the fight. Ultimately, once he got Njokuani to the ground, he relatively handily landed some intense ground-and-pound, taking the victory and earning a cool $50,000 bonus for his troubles in the immediate aftermath.
