Alex Oliveira suffered one of the nastiest cuts in recent memory during his fight with Gunnar Nelson last night at UFC 231 in Toronto.<\/p>\n

“Cowboy” had a strong opening few minutes, but the tide would ultimately swing in the favor of Gunnar Nelson in round two.<\/p>\n

After scoring a takedown, “Gunni” was able to split Alex Oliveira wide open with a thunderous elbow.<\/p>\n

Immediately following that strike, Oliveira’s forehead began bleeding so profusely that it looked like a running faucet. <\/p>\n

After a scramble, Gunnar Nelson locked in a rear-naked choke<\/a> which forced Alex Oliveira to tap out.<\/p>\n

Shortly following the conclusion of last night’s UFC 231 event, MMAFighting<\/a> shared the following photo of Alex Oliveira getting stitched up by doctors.<\/p>\n

“Cowboy” required a total of twenty-nine stitches to heal is wound.<\/p>\n

The setback snapped a two-fight winning streak for Oliveira.<\/p>\n

“Cowboy” had previously scored stoppage wins over Carlo Perdersoli Jr. and Carlos Condit.<\/p>\n

As for Gunnar Nelson, the 30-year-old has now won three of his past four contests overall, with all three of those victories coming by way of submission<\/a>.<\/p>\n
