Daniel Frunza suffered what many UFC fans have described as the worst injury in the promotion's history on Saturday night.

UFC CEO Dana White shared gruesome footage of the Romanian's injury after he was badly beaten by Irish star Rhys McKee in Las Vegas.

McKee, who made his UFC debut against Khamzat Chimaev in 2020, subsequently claimed his first win in the promotion after a first-round doctor's stoppage.

Despite McKee's impressive performance, it was his opponent's nasty cut that sparked the most reaction from MMA fans.

White took to Instagram after the bout and posted sickening, up-close footage which showed Frunza's upper lip had completely exploded.

The UFC boss then showed the aftermath of the Romanian's injury after he had been stitched up doctor's as UFC fans were left squirming.

A testament to how well mouthpieces work.

At first I’m like did they sew his eye shut too!?! Then I rewind just a tad and see his eye directly above that purple mouse.

Reminds me of when Robbie Lawler split his vs Carlos Conduit or Rory McDonald.

When you actually eat the knuckle sandwich.

Did he not have a mouth guard in?

That's gonna make eating a pain for awhile.
