UFC star Kyle Daukaus revealed he has undergone surgery after breaking bones and smashing his face as he spoke for the first time since his brutal stoppage defeat to Roman Dolidze.

The American MMA fighter shared a rather painful-looking video of him sat at home showing his swollen face.

He also said that he is suffering from three broken bones.

Daukaus, 29, shared the post on his Instagram account with the caption: "Quick update for why I look like Two-Face."

The video also showed him wearing what looked to be strapping around his face to keep the bones in place.

It is unclear when he will return to the Octagon but it appears he won't be forced to sit on the sidelines for the rest of the year.

The American was kneed in the face in the first round of the curtain-raiser for Josh Emmett's main event clash with Calvin Kattar at the Moody Center in Austin on June 18.

Daukaus was sent crashing to the canvas as Dolidze continued to hammer away with a few unanswered strikes before the referee stepped in to stop the fight.

He was rushed straight to hospital after the fight and confirmed he was undoing surgery a few hours later.

And the MMA fighter has now come out and updated fans on his progress.

He said: "I just kind of wanted to come on and give everybody an update as to what's going on with my face and stuff and why it's so swollen and everything.

“During the fight, I got kneed, obviously.

"As soon as the knee landed, it kind of broke my face in three places.

“The scans I got, I had two orbital fractures, and I think I had a fracture in my eye socket as well underneath.

"I went to the doctors obviously immediately after the fight. I was there kind of all night, came home probably about 11 o'clock. I could've stayed in Austin and went and had the surgery the following week but I kind of just wanted to go home and be where I'm comfortable at.

"So I flew home, went down to Jefferson Hospital, and got everything taken care of, got one of the best doctors to fix my face and everything like that.

“Surgery went well, it was last Thursday. I got three plates put in unfortunately in my face. I've got three plates on my actual face, and then I have one underneath my eyeball, too, but the one underneath my eyeball isn’t really a plate.

"It just kind of molds to my bone, so it will eventually become one as opposed to the ones that are actually screwed in my face and my cheekbone. But yeah, things like this happen.

“I have about six to eight weeks of recovery, the doctor said, which is far quicker than I thought it was going to be, I thought it was going to be out at least a year.

“Looking at the bright side of it, it’s six to eight weeks until pretty much full contact, so it’s something that’s exciting in a way. But again, I’m in no rush to get back in there and get to hard training.”
