Weeks before his fight against Alexander Hernandez at UFC 271 this past Saturday, Renato Moicano suffered a gruesome injury during one of his final sparring sessions.
Moicano shared a video on Wednesday that showed him and a teammate accidentally clashing heads in an exchange, which led to the Brazilian getting sliced open immediately upon impact. He realized he was cut after touching his forehead with his glove and seeing blood that had already begun dripping down his face. The 32-year-old stopped sparring and went to lie down on the canvas, and that is where things took a messier turn.
