JAKARTA - UFC star Julianna Pena had to be rushed to the hospital to see a plastic surgeon after a brutal fight against Amanda Nunes, last weekend. He had serious injuries, particularly in the forehead.
In that fight, Pena received several gruesome blows to the head. Like a horror movie, blood ran down his face.
UFC boss Dana White confirmed the fighter, nicknamed Venezuelan Vixen, was taken to specialists as soon as his defeat was confirmed by the jury.
"Julianna has a large piece missing from her forehead. She will see a plastic surgeon now," he said, as quoted by The Sun.
White said this injury could be the end of Pena's career. However, it is certain that the 32-year-old fighter will be out for a long time due to this defeat.
"It took a while to heal and then I don't know. He had a great hit tonight, he got five or six knockdowns in the first two rounds," White said.
"He's injured. He needs to take some time off, relax, spend time with his daughter and then we'll be out of there."
Meanwhile, this victory made Nunes reclaim the title that Pena had won last December. Nunes is now considered one of the greatest UFC fighters of all time.
The 34-year-old fighter exclaimed in his post-fight interview, "We're here to make history again. Come on, champion again baby."
