Dana White recently shared a picture of a UFC Vegas 105 fighter's brutal injury. Daniel Frunza’s torn lip, according to fans, is easily one of the worst cuts in the history of the sport.
In a violent preliminary card showdown against Rhys McKee, Frunza was battered early and nearly finished multiple times in the opening round. But somehow, he kept fighting, but the accumulated damage was catching up quickly.
Heading into the second round, the cut kept getting worse. The cut had ripped through Frunza’s lip, and the cage-side doctor had seen enough to wave off the bout. White took to Instagram to post images of the brutal aftermath.
