The small gloves, the utilization of elbows, the headstomps, the headbutts, etc. All of these aspects of MMA from the past and present have lead to some pretty nasty cuts on fighters. Do you have any memories of cuts from fights?

I'll kick it off with the classic, Marvin Eastman vs Vitor Belfort. Vitor must have had an axe in his pocket or something.

From more recent events, I'll choose Jose Aldo vs Cub Swanson. Aldo is a 22 year old amazingly fast and promising prospect. In his fights he has showed the uncanny ability to finish opponents in amazing flurries and brutal beat downs. And also the ability to really **** a guy's day/eye up with a double flying knee.

This is IMO the worst (Best Quality and everything) cut that I can find.

Eastman is still the king of this category.

My avatar shows the cut from Fedor-Nogueira II.

Marvin Eastman's was the worst ever. Now whenever someone gets cut announcers use it as a reference "A cut like Marvin Eastman's"

Or as Rogan said "A Goat's Vagina".

Before even opening the thread i was going to mention Marvin Eastman, that **** was nasty.

How the hell do people get cuts like that?

Looks like someone's used a knife on them!

Elbows and heads clashing together usually does the trick.
