UFC’s Pannie Kianzad was really willing to win at all costs at UFC Vegas 51. Kianzad showcased the price that comes with being a Mixed Martial artist in a premier promotion.
Kianzad, had a tooth knocked out on the UFC’s TUF series, smiled with a gap in her teeth and with a newly acquired nose injury.

Kianzad recently had a four-fight win streak snapped by Raquel Pennington, and was looking to start a new one against Lina Lansberg. Sadly the bout left less of an impression on the spectators than this final image of Kianzad.
This isn’t the first severe tooth issue UFC athlete had to face. Previously Anthony Smith warned his corner of an impending issue and even handed the ref his teeth at one point.

“Listen, breatheeeeee. Deep breaths”
