Karolina Kowalkiewicz will be headed for surgery in the aftermath of her loss at UFC Auckland.
The former strawweight title contender lost a lopsided unanimous decision to Yan Xiaonan over three rounds as part of the main card from New Zealand. It was her fourth loss in a row overall.
According to Kowalkiewicz, she suffered an eye injury during the opening round that hampered her vision for the remainder of the fight. In a video posted to her Instagram on Sunday, the 34-year-old Polish fighter revealed the extent of her injuries while adding that she will be headed for surgery to repair the damage done.
