    Irene Aldana’s UFC 306 cut barely noticeable two days later (OK, that’s a lie)

    By Blue Corner,

    Irene Aldana ’s UFC 306 cut looks like a scratch two days later … if the scratch was from an excavator on a construction site.

    In other words, holy hell – it’s gnarly.

    Norma Dumont (12-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) beat former women’s bantamweight title challenger Aldana (15-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) with a unanimous decision to close out the prelims at Noche UFC at Sphere in Las Vegas.

    The result wasn’t what wound up being notable, though. Dumont opened up a massive cut on Aldana’s forehead that may have been the worst in UFC history. Still images and video on social media showed all the way to Aldana’s skull.

    Monday, the Mexican fighter posted a short video clip on social media that showed the early stitches, staples and results of post-fight surgeries to close up the cut. As long as Grasso seems to be in good spirits about it, we can safely say she may have opened up some new Halloween costume options for this year.

    In other posts, she’s said she’ll be just fine and ready to move on to the next one, which is hard for most people to fathom two days after perhaps the goriest cut ever.

    Check out her brief video post below:
