On Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour, Mark Hominick had a message for fans who were concerned about the softball-sized lump growing out of his forehead by the end of his featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 129: it looked worse than it felt.

And yeah, he knows it looked pretty bad.

“I remember watching fights, like the [Hasim] Rahman [vs. Evander Holyfield] fight, and it was like, oh my God. I could just imagine what the crowd and everybody else was feeling when they saw that, because it’s definitely disturbing to see that,” Hominick told Ariel Helwani. “But again, it’s a superficial injury. It’s not affecting my vision; it’s not affecting my performance. After I had an icepack on it after the fight, it went right down.”
