Irene Aldana and Norma Dumont faced each other at UFC 306, going through three intense rounds in the octagon. A collision between their heads during the fight led to a severe cut on Aldana’s forehead, causing blood to obstruct her vision as she battled against Dumont. Despite Aldana’s determination, she couldn’t secure a win, and Dumont emerged victorious through a unanimous decision.
Following the match, Aldana had to undergo treatment for her head injury backstage. UFC’s CEO Dana White posted a picture of the deep cut before medical help was provided. Dr. Greg Hsu, the UFC’s physician and surgeon, went a step further by sharing a video of himself suturing Aldana’s wound, revealing the extent of the injury.
The footage displayed Hsu carefully stitching Aldana’s forehead, suggesting that she might need future plastic surgery to prevent a permanent scar from the significant wound. The graphic material of the injury and its treatment may be distressing for some viewers.
