LOOK: Johnny Eblen's Bellator 299 cut is nightmare-inducing

On Saturday Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen defended his title when he knocked out Fabian Edwards in the main event at Bellator 299. In the process though, he suffered a nasty cut above his eye which required surgery.

After the fight UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier shared a photo of the injury writing, "Champ said its jut a scratch."

But it was, in fact, not just a scratch.

Proceed with caution.

With this win Eblen advances to 14-0 and has now won two title defences.
