Irene Aldana had a rough night at the office at UFC 306, and although a lot was unpreventable, some other things were not, at least according to the former UFC title challenger. Unfortunately for Aldana (15-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC), she suffered arguably the worst cut in UFC history during her decision loss to Norma Dumont in her women’s bantamweight bout at Sphere in Las Vegas last month. It was a gruesome gash that went from the bottom of her eyebrow all the way to her hairline and appeared to be half an inch wide. This nasty cut stemmed from an accidental, but illegal, headbutt towards the end of Round 2. Although these things happen in the chaotic nature of the fight game, Aldana claims she was hit more than once with headbutts. “It wasn’t just the only one headbutt, there were multiple in that fight,” Aldana told MMA Junkie in Spanish in an exclusive interview
