UFC star Michael Chandler was left with sickening swelling on his left leg after his clash with Charles Oliveira.
The fan favourite rematched the former lightweight champion earlier this month in the co-main event of UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden.
Chandler, who was fighting for the first time in two years, suffered a unanimous decision defeat to the Brazilian but came close to finishing the fight in the fifth round.
Oliveira brutalised the former three-time Bellator 155lbs champion with an array of Muay Thai strikes, including thudding leg kicks.
And his lead leg is still feeling the effects of the low kicks, which left him with serious swelling.
Chandler, 38, showed off his war wound on his Instagram story, leaving indentations in his calf after pressing his fingers on them.
MMA fans were quick to comment, with one writing: “Yo that’s crazy, I’ve never seen that before lol.”
Another said: “Jesus Christ.”
And another said: “That’s some crazy Edema.”
One remarked: “Sheesh.”

Another chimed in: “His leg is just like a sponge.”
Chandler’s MSG melee with the beloved Oliveira, who is now the No.1 contender for the lightweight title, also left him peeing blood.
He told Barstool Sports: “My body, the most pain I’ve ever been in my entire life.
“The most injuries I’ve ever had in a fight, for sure. Peed blood, inflammation all over, my whole body is swollen.
“The first one was very light, which was in my drug test. New York drug tested me before the fight and then after the fight.
“I tested positive for blood (laughs). “It had a light tint and the second one was beet-looking juice. It was dark.
“My whole body hurt… I think something happened to the knee in that first exchange where he had the leg.
“And I did like a full 360, and he did a kneebar thing.
“I walked back to the stool and I looked down at my left leg and it was not working right.
“It wasn’t stepping. It wasn’t catching. It was unstable.
“”It was weird… Essentially, for about 23 minutes of that fight, I don’t know if the leg was really working that well.”
