As many speculated during a lopsided UFC 249 event, new UFC interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje literally broke Tony Ferguson’s face.
According to UFC president Dana White, Ferguson suffered an orbital fracture during the fight on Saturday.
Such an injury is not shocking given how the fight went for Ferguson, and how his face looked when it was over (slightly NSFW there). Over the course of four and a half rounds, Gaethje delivered blow after blow to Ferguson’s face.
According to UFC, Gaethje connected on 143 significant strikes against Ferguson, with 100 landing on the head.
