Quite possibly one of the grossest injuries in combat sports history went down over the weekend … when a Muay Thai fighter had his nose completely wrecked during a bout — and yeah, the video is disgusting.
The gruesome incident went down between Por Tor Thor Petchrungruang and Shayan Heydari in Thailand … when the latter was rocked with a vicious uppercut in the second round of the contest.

Heydari’s nose practically went sideways … and it was immediately clear the thing was broken.
Heydari fell to his knees and covered his face as a result of the ailment … and the fight was called off, with Petchrungruang getting the victory via TKO.
There have been a ton of nasty injuries in fighting — former UFC champ Glover Teixeira‘s face getting beat up against Jamahal Hill in Jan. 2023 comes to mind — but this one is way worse.
Heydari will certainly go under the knife to fix his rearranged face … so he’ll probably be out for a bit as he heals up.
Just another example of fighters being built different.
