UFC Fighter Tracy Cortez's Fake Eyelashes Takes Flight After Swallowing Punch To The Face

All eyes were on Saturday night's UFC event both due to a rumored Donald Trump appearance and a main-card brawl between Rose Namajunas (14-6) and Tracy Cortez (11-2), the latter of which featured a brow-raising scene.

The tougher-looking Namajunas, sporting a "Furiosa" buzzcut, perfectly contrasted the dolled-up Cortez, who came to the Octagon wearing makeup and fake lashes.

Namjunas managed to punch one of Cortez's fake lashes off her face after delivering a well-timed straight shot to Cortez's left eye. 

Cortez's lash took flight, and Rose Namajunas appeared in control of the eventual win.
