Jessica Eye lost to Jennifer Maia in their fight at UFC 264 in Las Vegas on Saturday and drew attention for a nasty cut she suffered in the defeat.

Eye and Maia went the distance, with Maia winning a unanimous decision. But Eye was the victim of an accidental headbutt that opened up a gash on her forehead.

Eye made it through the fight despite the cut. She received several “third eye” jokes on Twitter afterward.

Others compared it to a mouth:

The cut and defeat are a shame for Eye, who has now lost three straight fights and four of her last five.
