American strawweight Yoder, who has previously entertained her Instagram followers with stunning bikini snaps, went into the clash as the huge underdog against her 29-year-old opponent.
But the grappler, known as the ‘Spider Monkey’, produced some decent offense in the opening round.
However, Ducote stepped it up in the second and followed that up in the third by unloaded some serious blows.
And that included some slicing elbow shots that split Yoder open twice.
Ducote went on to get the unanimous decision, but Yoder had much more to worry about than just the loss.
She looked unrecognisable at the finish with the gaping holes above her eyes.
And the snaps of the damage, which will have required a number of stitches, soon went viral.
One fan said it looked like she had a “second set of eyebrows” as the disturbing pictures spread on social media.
“Holy c**p,” declared another, as a fellow fan hailed her as a “true warrior” for managing to finish the bout.
Another called her “something else” while a fellow MMA supporter compared her new-look to a “Halloween costume”.
Yoder landed a UFC contract from Dana White in 2016 after a successful stint on The Ultimate Fighter.
Now retirement could be on the cards after this latest sickening setback stretched her losing streak to three.
It was also the star’s fifth defeat out of her last six fights inside the octagon.
From beauty to barely recognisable – here are the sickening snaps of the damage Yoder suffered…
