Dana White, the UFC’s president, revealed that after the fight, she was immediately transported to see a specialist.
White said:
Julianna’s got a big chunk missing from her forehead. She’s going to see a plastic surgeon right now.
It takes some time to heal and then I don’t know. She got pretty banged up tonight, she got five or six knockdowns in the first two rounds.
She was hurt. She needs to take some time off, relax, spend some time with her daughter and then we will go from there.
