The blood was coming from Dwyer's broken nose, which Curtis jabbed with a huge right swing in the 4th round.
Social media users were both shocked and captivated at the carnage in the cage, posting a variety of theme-appropriate memes.
Matt Dwyer is a complete mess. Chris Curtis shattered his nose in R4 and the cage is covered in blood.
