Graphic video: Mark Martin’s eye bulges out out of head as injury ends PFL Challenger Series 2 bout

Even before the official decision, Mark Martin was immediately transported to the hospital – and for seemingly good reason.

At PFL Challenger Series 2, Martin lost to Dilano Taylor by doctor’s stoppage in between the first and second round. Almost immediately upon the cage-side physician’s entrance into the cage, the signal was given the bout was over. His eye bulged out of his head.

Martin (7-2) found success early, but a couple of hard shots from Taylor (8-1) caused swelling and damage to the left eye of Martin. As he turned and faced the camera, the severity of the injury became apparent. Not only was the eye puffy, it protruded out of the socket in grotesque fashion. The broadcast announced Martin was headed to a local hospital minutes after the bout was halted.

Check out the gruesomeness below, if you dare.

PFL Challenger Series 2 took place Friday at Universal Studios in Orlando and streamed on fuboTV.

The PFL Challenger Series 2 results include:

  • Dilano Taylor def. Mark Martin via TKO (doctor stoppage) – Round 1, 5:00
  • Carlos Leal def. Korey Kuppe via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 0:56
  • Chris Mixan def. Nathan Pierce via TKO (punches) – Round 2, 1:29
