If you happen to be eating, put down whatever food you have before looking at this because it ain’t pretty.

If you participate in MMA or any combat sport you know that there are risks involved and from time to time you’re going to end up getting hurt; it’s just the way it is. Poor Kaitlin Young, a bantamweight who fights in the Invicta Fighting Championships, discovered that recently after suffering a blow to the head from an opponent’s knee in training that left her with an incredibly nasty looking laceration down the middle of her forehead. “I shot under some punches in practice today, and my buddy kicked at the same time. Forehead vs Knee. Knee 1 - Forehead 0,” Kaitlin wrote under a photo she posted on her Facebook page and we can’t help but agree with her description of the result. kaitlinyoung Pic via Facebook/Kaitlin Young As you can see, the cut has since been patched up and although it’ll leave a mark for some time yet we’re sure Kaitlin will be fine and back in action in no time, if understandably a little more careful when training with that particular buddy of hers in the future.
