We've seen our fair share of disturbing MMA photos over the years. But, the one that seven-foot MMA fighter Stefan Struve provided over the weekend after getting knocked out by Mark Hunt on UFC on Fuel TV 8 might just be the most disturbing one ever. It's an X-ray of the broken jaw that he sustained during the fight, and it looks every bit as painful as it sounds. Just check out that crack that extends from his tooth all the way down the length of his jaw. Yuck.

Fortunately, Struve was in good spirits after the fight despite the broken jaw and even sent out a few tweets like this:

Flyin Home with a face like a ballon, at least I'll be warm :) thnx @fearthefighter I need more of these sweathers, pants are 2 short tho :p

But, he's probably not going to be laughing in a week or two when he's sucking back his 3,546th milkshake. Next time, keep your guard up, dude.
