UFC fight ends in gruesome fashion after fighter nearly has ear torn off

There have been some truly grotesque endings to MMA fights in the past, but’s hard to imagine how you top a person having their ear nearly ripped off from their head.

That was unfortunately the reality of one fight at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.

A bout between welterweights Max Griffin and Ramiz Brahimaj was called in the third round after referee Mark Smith noticed the state of Brahimaj’s ear after taking a hard elbow to the head. Viewers watching closely would have seen the state of Brahimaj’s ear as well.

Folks, we’re going to level with you.
