Cat Zingano suffers eyelid laceration at UFC 232; veteran referee explains why it was TKO loss

It appears Cat Zingano won’t have to deal with any long-term damage after her fight against Megan Anderson at UFC 232.

Zingano lost to Anderson via first-round TKO on Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, California, but the fight ended in bizarre fashion. Anderson attempted a head kick, but instead of landing it flush, cut Zingano’s eyelid with her toenail. ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reported Saturday night that Zingano suffered an eyelid laceration but did not have to go to the hospital.

Cat Zingano suffered an eyelid laceration, according to the UFC. It was repaired on site and she was not transported to the hospital.
