Not only was it a bloody injury, but it might be among the grossest that we’ve seen in a very long time. Take a look at some evidence below.

If I ever have a gash like that on my forehead, you can just go ahead and put me out of my misery because I don’t want to live anymore.
It literally looks like a chunk of skin was just cut out of her face.

UFC fighters are a different breed of human, and there’s no doubt about that all. They’re just built differently, and Eye’s injury is proof of that fact.
That would put 99.99% of people down for the count, but she took it in stride.

Props to her for not quitting during the UFC bout. That’s some serious toughness.
