Corey Anderson details gruesome facial injury, UFC fighters react

Corey Anderson suffered a near career-ender one week after his knockout loss to Jan Blachowicz, and Anderson’s fellow fighters are relieved to know he is on the mend.

Anderson (13-5) posted a shocking photo to Instagram on Monday. The gruesome image shows “Overtime” in a hospital bed with a severely swollen face. According to Anderson, the accident occurred on Feb. 21 — exactly one week after the Blachowicz loss.

“Following my last fight, I blacked out and collapsed smashing my face on a gravel road after scouting some land for hours,” Anderson captioned the post.
