The welterweight fight between Mike Perry and Paul Felder at UFC 226 made a solid case for “Fight of the Night.”

And while it didn’t wind up getting a post-fight bonus award, it certainly went down as the event’s bloodiest bout. Perry (12-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) took a split decision from Felder (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in their bout on the main card. A clash of heads early in the fight split Felder open in a big way, and it make for some pretty gnarly photography.

In the video above, take a look back at the Perry-Felder fight through the eyes of USA TODAY Sports photographer Stephen R. Sylvanie. And check out the gallery of photos below, as well.

UFC 226 took place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
