Although Mike Perry ended up losing to Vicente Luque by split decision at UFC Uruguay, he ended up receiving applause from all the fans at the Antel Arena in Montevideo. The American fighter was involved in one of the most intense moments of the night.
While both fighters landed punches throughout the match, Mike Perry got the worst of it, as many of the strikes were to his face. And to make matters worse, he found himself in trouble towards the end due to a guillotine hold, but managed to escape in time.
However, he put so much pressure to free himself from the hold that he ended up compromising his own nose. After the fight, cameras captured Mike Perry's visibly damaged face, as he suffered a broken nose.
It's worth noting that Mike Perry retired to applause, as the fight stole the show for the fans. And everything indicates that he will be away from the octagon for a long time, due to the severity of the injury.
