UFC 264 is fully underway and we already have one pretty gruesome injury.
Jessica Eye, a 34-year-old MMA star from Ohio, fell to Jennifer Maia in a match at UFC 264 on Saturday evening.
During the match, Eye and Maia had a nasty forehead collision. Eye took the worst of it, suffering a nasty gash on her head. The bout continued, with Eye losing to Maia in a third round decision.
Jessica “Third” Eye is now trending on social media. That should give you a good idea of how gruesome the gash to her forehead is.

While Eye is rightfully being praised for her toughness, this was another disappointing result for the UFC star.
Eye has now lost three matches in a row, with her career record falling to 15-10 MMA, 5-9 UFC. Maia, meanwhile, improved to 19-7-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC in her career.
UFC 264 continues on Saturday evening, with the main event – Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier – set for later tonight on PPV.
