MAYCEE BARBER and Amanda Ribas were left unrecognisable after their bloody flyweight showdown.
The former strawweight contenders threw down in the co-main event of UFC Jacksonville on Saturday night.
And their eagerly-anticipated Florida fisticuffs didn't disappoint.
Both women had their moments in the first round, but it was Barber who drew first blood with a big left hand.
And the sight of a bleeding Ribas prompted the 25-year-old to go for the finish – which she got in the second round – although she found herself bloodied by some fast punches.
Both women were bleeding profusely come the midway point of round two, but it was Barber who turned it up and rocked Ribas with a glancing head kick.
