By Josh Sanchez

 

Former Bellator champions Liam McGeary and Phil Davis went head-to-head at Bellator 220 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California on Saturday, April 27. The light heavyweight contest took place on the main card with Davis earning a TKO victory.

Unfortunately for McGeary, he suffered a gruesome injury during the bout that could keep him on the sideline for an extended period of time.

Following the bout, McGeary took to social media to share photo of an x-ray that reveals a broken jaw.
