MMA fighter Andy Eicholz may have lost his match against Wade Sauer, but that wasn't any reason to get bent out of shape -- or was it?
The two battled it out Saturday night at a match in Pendleton, Ore., and Sauer knocked out Eicholz in the first round. (http://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/121127-fnp-andy-eichholz-vs-wade-sauer) (Fittingly, Eicholz's nickname is "Ice Cold.")
But a post-fight photo showing the damage Sauer did to Eicholz's schnoz is a red hot commodity on the Internet. MixedMartialArts.com said it's already a top contender for the coveted Broken Nose of the Year Award. (http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/440757/Early-contender-for-Broken-Nose-of-the-Year/)

Eicholz's extremely broken nose has inspired all sorts of comments, as people try to put its distorted beauty into properly poetic terms.
For instance, NextImpulseSports.com (http://nextimpulsesports.com/2014/01/06/need-see-mma-fighter-andy-eichholzs-crazy-broken-nose/) said Eicholz's nose was "so extremely broken that he could double for a Picasso painting."
A commenter on Deadspin remarked: "All I can picture is Daffy Duck (http://deadspin.com/mma-fighters-nose-probably-shouldnt-look-like-that-1495839296) getting hit so hard his bill ends up on the back of his head."
