Matt Mitrione endured two eyes pokes in his UFC Fight Night 81 bout versus Travis Browne, but it was a right cross to the same eye that shattered his orbital bone and left the former NFLer with a horrific looking hematoma the size of a plum.
Mitrione (9-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) indicated before the fight that he could walk away from MMA with a loss, and the eye injury would seem to push things in that direction.
