Oh my lord, kill it! Kill it with fire!
UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione suffered what is sure to go down as one of the most disgusting-looking eye injuries in UFC history during his main card clash against Travis Browne on Sunday night at UFC Fight Night 81.
Mitrione lost the fight via third round TKO and to make things worse, he’s going to be looking like Quasimodo for a while after Browne executed a perfectly placed punch, which admittedly came after a couple of eye-pokes that also contributed to the damage.
Check out Mitrione’s nasty-ass eye below, but be warned, it’s so unsightly that it almost warrants an NSFW tag.

A pretty hideous sight. There’s no way it could possibly get any worse, right?
Wrong.
Check it out in all it’s glory from this angle while trying to hold down those cornflakes you had for breakfast.

Mitrione since tweeted an update on the eye confirming that he had broken his orbital bone. He also explained that this injury occurred after the second eye-poke was inflicted by Browne.
Broken orbital floor. This and the shoulder happened after the 2nd eye poke. I don't think they would've happened pic.twitter.com/wFn1NC3j5Y

With everything that happened tonight, I need to state that the @ufc has taken great care of me tonight. Thank you.
