EX-UFC champion Eddie Alvarez was left with horror facial injuries after brutal bare-knuckle boxing defeat to Mike Perry. <\/p>\n
The pair of former MMA stars headlined a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event in Salt Lake City, Utah.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And the two put on a hellacious show for two rounds until Alvarez's corner pulled him out of the bout. <\/p>\n
The American's left eye was so badly swollen he could not continue any longer. <\/p>\n
Alvarez, 39, showed off the extent of his battle scars in the post-fight press conference, sporting a severely swollen and bruised face. <\/p>\n
Perry, 32, was also marked up as he celebrated his vicious victory. <\/p>\n
