Peggy Morgan reports she is OK, soft tissue damage only
Peggy Morgan is OK
Invicta FC featherweight Peggy Morgan suffered Friday night from an opponent who was the better fighter that night, a referee who apparently believes in the bitter end, and a massive heart. The long-limbed, heavy-handed Megan Anderson is now on a three-fight win streak, and a favorite to face division champion Cris Cybrog Justino. However, it was Morgan who blew up the Internet, thanks to temporarily face disfiguring soft tissue damage suffered during Invicta FC 18, live on UFC Fight Pass.
First, the important part, Morgan did not sustain any serious or lasting damage:

And ‘The Daywalker’ even showed a sense of humor about it:

However, the result of the fight was startling.

I cornered this fight. She’s fine. Nothing broken, just soft tissue damage. We just ate BBQ and are getting ice cream now. She always swells really bad, even from a light jab.
L-O fucking L these romos.
And the photoshops that got her coach laughing:
