Max Holloway was rushed to hospital last night after suffering a gruesome cut as he lost a third UFC featherweight title fight to Alexander Volkanovski.
The former world champion is one of the greatest and most beloved fighters in the sport, but he has come up short on three occasions now against the Australian. And after two razor-close decisions in their initial bouts, including a controversial split in their 2020 rematch, Holloway was finally put to the sword by Volkanovski in Las Vegas.
And during the second round he was brutally cut above the left eye with a right hand; an injury that continued to bother him throughout the fight. He was left covered in blood when the decision was read, and he was ordered to be taken to hospital immediately after the decision was read.
