Vanessa Porto suffered a nasty eye injury during her flyweight title fight with Pearl Gonzalez at last night’s Invicta FC 34 event in Kansas City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The injury occurred in round four, this after Pearl Gonzalez struck Vanessa Porto with an accidental eye poke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite being ruled unable to continue by the doctors and officials in attendance, Porto still walked away with a technical decision win on the judges scorecards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course it was not the desired outcome for Porto to inevitably capture the promotions vacant flyweight title. But nonetheless, Vanessa appeared to be well on her way to earning a unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shortly following last night’s Invicta FC 34 main event, Porto shared the following photo on her official Instagram detailing the horrific eye injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately for fight fans, the Invicta FC 34 headliner was not the only MMA main event to end on a sour note yesterday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last night’s Bellator 215 headliner lasted only 15-seconds, this after Matt Mitrione struck Sergei Kharitonov with an accidental kick to the groin<\/a>, which left the “Russian Mercenary<\/a>” unable to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thankfully Vanessa Porto is expected to make a full recovery from the injury she suffered due to the accidental eye poke last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Porto’s Invicta FC 34 opponent, Pearl Gonzalez, issued the following show of respect to the newly crowned champion on Twitter late yesterday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
