UFC strawweight Luana Pinheiro is still recovering from her last fight, which took place earlier this month. Aside from the normal bumps and bruises associated with entering the octagon, she suffered what can safely be referred to as a unique injury.
The Brazilian lost her fight at UFC Vegas 100 on November 9 against Gillian Robertson by unanimous decision and limped out of the octagon. She caught several 12-6 elbows, which have up until recently been illegal in the UFC, on her butt, including one directly to her anus.
The “disrespectful” shots, as Pinheiro refers to them as, took place at the end of the first-round with one of them, quite possibly the devastating elbow to the anus, taking place after the bell.
The elbows didn’t just leave the 31-year-old with a limp either. Pinheiro is still, weeks later, having trouble sitting down, and she’s not at all happy about it.

"I’m on strong meds. Today’s the last day I’ll take them. I can’t sit without a cushion or bend my back. I can’t exert much force because I feel it there. At first, I couldn’t walk, cough, or laugh properly. Sneezing was agony, I felt like I was dying, you know?, Pinheiro added.
When I was a kid at camp I went to bump a volleyball and absolutely slammed this chick right in the asshole. I still wake up at 2am some nights thinking about the shame.
This made me physically laugh, first time in a long time on the internet.
