Whittaker Avoids Broken Jaw After Graphic Injury: UFC 290 Was Scary

Yo, you guys saw that fight? Holy smokes! It was brutal! Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira went at it again at UFC 290, and it was one for the ages. But let's be real, it could have been a whole lot worse.

Remember that gnarly kick Pereira landed on Whittaker's jaw in round two? Yeah, that was pretty scary. Dude, that was a straight up knockout waiting to happen. Thankfully, Whittaker managed to shake it off and keep going, but that was close.

Imagine if that had landed clean. No joke, Whittaker could have walked out of the octagon with a broken jaw. That's real talk. The doctors even took a look at him after the fight, just to be safe. Luckily, there was no fracture, but they did give him some stitches.

This whole thing got me thinking... about just how tough these fighters really are. Whittaker took that shot like a champ. It's no wonder they get paid the big bucks.

Anyway, the fight itself was a thriller. Adesanya came out on top, but it was a super close call. These two just don't like each other, and it's evident in the way they fight.

But hey, at least Whittaker walked out of the octagon in one piece, even if he had to get a few stitches. Now that's what we call resilience.
