UFC star Mateusz Rebecki has shared a gruesome photo of his face following his loss to Diego Ferreira last night.
Rebecki was well beaten by Ferreira in what was his first ever UFC defeat and his first fight loss since 2014.
The Polish fighter saw his 16-fight winning streak come to an end, and it certainly left him with some bashes and bruises.
The 31-year-old took to Instagram to share a picture of his disfigured face while sitting up in a hospital bed.
Rebecki was covered in blood and didn’t look like he could open his eyes with both of them seemingly swollen shut.
Reports have suggested that the star, who is nicknamed Rebeasti, was taken to hospital following the fight for precautionary CT scans on his head and face.
The shocking photo didn’t seem to bother Rebecki as he shared the upload with the caption: “Life 
”.
The nonchalant caption suggests that the fighter is used to the gnarly injuries that he suffers in the octagon, but it doesn’t mean fans are.
Many UFC fans reacted to the crazy photo online after Rebecki uploaded it, offering messages of support to the star in the comments section.
One wrote: “You are a WARRIOR! Wishing you a speedy recovery!”

While another added: “You will be back soon brother”.
A third commented: “You will come back stronger – we are all so proud”.
And a fourth posted: “MMA is a beautiful sport where defeats hurt twice. In the heart and in the body.”
Rebecki’s defeat was a shock given his imperious record and the fact he went into last night’s UFC event as the heaviest favourite.
While his opponent Ferreira, 39, extended his winning streak to two fights after losing three in a row prior to his turnaround.
The Brazilian had plenty to celebrate too as he earned himself a Performance of the Night bonus for his knockout win over Rebecki.
