Welsh MMA star Jack Shore fell to just the second defeat of his professional career to Brazilian Joanderson Brito at UFC 301, suffering a brutal injury.

Shore, who is nicknamed 'Tank', faced the Brito in his hometown, Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil on Saturday.

The Brit went into the contest as an underdog and was dismantled within two rounds, with Brito winning by TKO in round two.

The Brazilian was aiming for the leg as he was finding success with early kicks before leaving a massive gash on Shore's shin.

Despite the Welshman appearing to be moving fine, the referee brought the action to a halt as a doctor entered the cage to check over the fighter in round two.
