Gabriel Benitez may not have won his fight against Omar Morales at Wednesday's UFC Fight Night at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, but no one will ever question his toughness again.

Benitez fought the final two rounds of the three-round bout with a gruesome cut on his shin (NSFWlink) after getting checked by Morales several times on kick attempts early in the fight. Morales won via unanimous decision.

In a word: Yikes. A nice reminder to continue enjoying the UFC from afar and to never, ever try to set foot in the Octagon.
