UFC fighter Rongzhu suffered a handful of facial fractures in his brutal TKO defeat at the hands of Chris Padilla.
After being released by the Ultimate Fighting Championship a few year back, Rongzhu worked hard to get back to the big dance. Through the Road to UFC showcase, he went 3-0 and earned a contract with the company once again. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a winning return last night against Chris Padilla.

After a competitive affair, Padilla landed a brutal elbow on Rongzhu that led to an immediate problem with his eye. He was visibly concerned, and it didn’t take long before he was deemed unable to continue.
As you can probably imagine, he headed to the hospital after that. As it turns out, it was even more severe than a lot of people could’ve imagined.
