PICS: Ryan Benoit shows off horribly broken cheekbone sustained against Sergio Pettis

UFC flyweight Ryan Benoit has been handed an indefinite suspension by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

And believe it or not, it's not for kicking Sergio Pettis up the arse after the final bell. No, rather it's for this nasty broken cheekbone that he suffered in the first round of his fight against heavy favourite Sergio Pettis at UFC 185 on Saturday night.

"Baby face" might have to change his nickname because there's nothing adorable about the crazy amount of swelling that the 8-3 American showed off after his comeback win.

It's safe to say that Benoit won't be having steak for dinner any time soon. H/t to FoxSports
