This fight was one for the ages. At UFC 189, a never-seen-before brawl broke out between Robbie Lawler and Rory McDonald. The former welterweight champion and McDonald engaged in a grueling slugfest which left both fighters bloodied and injured.

In the end, Lawler came out victorious as Rory was knocked down by a series of powerful punches and the veteran Big John Mcarthy had to step in to stop the fight.

The severity of Mcdonald's injuries were the major talking point in the aftermath of the bout. His face looked like a balloon. There was more bad news, though, underneath all the swelling as an x-ray of his nose showed that a part of it was hit so hard that it detached itself from the skull. Ruthless freaking Lawler!
