UFC STAR Jared Cannonier had the “snot beaten out of his nose” by a brutal punch from Caio Borralho.
The fighters clashed in the octagon during last night Las Vegas 96 card.
Borralho, 31, bossed the contest and won via a unanimous decision.

Another added: “Bros nose is done for.”
A third reacted: “That’s how you get rid of a nasty cold.”
