Julianna Pena was taken straight to see a plastic surgeon after her bruising defeat by Amanda Nunes at UFC 277 last night.
Pena beat Nunes last December in a huge upset to win the UFC bantamweight title but was dominated over five rounds in their Dallas rematch this weekend. Pena was knocked down three times and left with a gaping cut on. her forehead before the judges scored the bout 50-45, 50-44, 50-43 in Nunes' favour.
The Brazilian regained her status as a double champion as she also holds the promotion's featherweight crown. But Pena faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being taken to hospital.
