Former UFC star Sage Northcutt has suffered the most devastating defeat of his career, a 29 second knockout in his much-anticipated One Championship debut.
The 23-year-old was left face first on the canvas after eating a huge punch from his opponent Cosmo Alexandre in the first round of the bout last week.
While Northcutt was standing up and alert after the fight, the damage he took proved to be extensive.
Northcutt took to social media to share an update of his condition, saying he underwent surgery for a remarkable nine hours to repair eight fractures in his face.
"Fresh out of surgery...I had 8 fractures and a nine hour intense operation," he wrote on Instagram.
