The Real Winners and Losers From UFC Fight Night 241 | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

In MMA, we complain a lot about fouls like eye pokes and groin shots. At best, they compromise fighters and force long breaks in the action, and at worst, they end fights prematurely.

Better gloves and protective gear could one day help diminish the frequency of those fouls, but one thing we'll likely never be fully rid of is head butts. The fact of the matter is, now and then, two fighters lunge in at the same time, their heads collide, and they're either cut or badly rocked by the impact. Most of the time, it's an accident, but sometimes we see a fighter do it on purpose.

That seems to be what we saw on the UFC Fight Night 241 undercard, in a strawweight clash between Ariane Carnelossi and Piera Rodriguez. Mid-way through the second round, during a grappling exchange, Rodriguez drove her forehead right into Carnelossi's face, and it sure didn't look like an accident.

Unfortunately, Carnelossi could not continue, and the bout was waved off. She was then named the winner via disqualification, which is surely not the kind of victory she had envisioned when she flew to Vegas.
