Dana White Shares Graphic Images of Melquizael Costa’s Toe Injury

Melquizael Costa was victorious at UFC Vegas 106, but he did not emerge from his fight against Julian Erosa unscathed.

UFC CEO Dana White took to social media to share several images of Costa’s gruesome toe injury suffered at the event, a significant gash which required stitches to repair. However, that wound did not prevent Costa from earning a unanimous decision triumph against Erosa in a bout that received “Fight of the Night” honors.
