UFC veteran Carmelo Marrero tangled with Mike Ciesnolevicz this past weekend at an International Fight League (IFL) event held at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J.
The 205-pound fight, however, did not last long because of a nasty gash that was opened up accidentally (head clash) on Marrero less than two minutes into the bout. It was so bad that the referee called a halt to the action and declared a no contest.
I think he made the right call:

“The Fury” has definitely now got something when it comes to Marvin Eastman, Gideon Ray, Edwin DeWees, Sean Sherk and all of the other grizzly cuts that happened in mixed martial arts competition.

I remember watching that fight and wondering what the hell was going on, I was extremely drunk at the time, when the ref stopped the fight.
Who was the TUF fighter that had the gash that looked like someone turned on a faucet?
edwin dewees
Thanks psyqo78, that was the nastiest cut I’ve ever seen.
it wasnt that nasty of a cut (edwin dewees), it just wouldnt stop bleeding, it was insane how much blood came out of that guy.. I liked the way he stated putting his head on top of the other fighters face so the blood would impare his vision that was a good sneeky strategy.
OMG!!!!
eastman, dewees, ross pointon, fedor
If someone was to just look at the above image, they’d have a hard time figuring out what it was. They couldn’t even stitch it, they needed to staple that bad boy up. WOW.
Edwin Dewees bleading all over Pete Spratt’s face/eyes was actually funny. Spratt is a complete germophobe as well, so he is the last person that would want another man’s blood in his eye sockets.

Very true, but ViolentMike, it wasnt against Pete Spratt, i think it was against Gideon Ray
ahhhhh, you are 100% correct. My bad. I knew that it was against a man of color and I knew it wasn’t Din Thomas, but I forgot all about Gideon. THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECTION BOBBY! Gideon Ray was the germophobe as well, not Spratt.
Those pictures were rank
although it didn’t bleed that bad Eastmans cut from Belfors knee was the worst I have ever seen, I mean really it looked like a vagina.
That’s a sick cut. lol
With respect to bleeding can anyone tell me how often fighters are tested for HIV or AIDS or any other illness that be be transferred from blood?
Don’t forget Kalib Starnes at UFC 77 vs Alan Belcher. That one was a double stitcher. Marvin Eastman was still the worst I’ve ever seen.
Man he got his wig split literally. Carmello > kongo
Kongo > Cro crap
Carmello > Cro crap
I think you can add Matt Hammill’s lip from his latest fight to the list of nasty gashes. Maybe not as bad as having 9 STAPLES in your head, though.

UKmmaBOY, I don’t know for sure, but I would imagine they were tested before every fight. Too risky nowadays not to.
that has got to bee the biggest gash ive seen in MMA. is there any video footage.
but IMO Edwin Dewees vs. Gideon Ray was the goriest blood spillage. i know the cut wasnt as bad but it was a fountain of blood going all over Rays face & the guy is a germphobe.
another great blood bath was when Joe Daddy Stevenson beat the hell out of Yves Edwards.they left a huge blood stain across 1 side of the octagon.
