UFC middleweight Kyle Daukaus has a few pieces of hardware in his face from surgery following his knockout loss in Austin, Texas. Opening the UFC on ESPN 37 prelims, Daukaus (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) faced Roman Dolidze, aiming to make it back-to-back wins. Unfortunately for Daukaus (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), his opponent landed a brutal knee to his face in the clinch, resulting in a first-round knockout loss. The impact from the knee caused significant damage to Daukaus’ face, requiring surgery. On Tuesday, Daukaus posted a video on social media providing a health update and explaining the surgery he went through. “All right so I just wanted to come on, give everybody an update as to let you know what’s going on with my face and stuff, why it’s so swollen and everything,” Daukaus said in a video posted to Instagram .
