Hanson was awarded a technical decision victory as she was ahead on the judges’ scorecards at the time.

Jedrzejcyzk was left barely recognisable after her sensational fight with Weili Zhang at UFC 248.

Zhang was defending her strawweight crown against former champion Jedrzejczyk and the pair left it all in the cage in what is already being dubbed the greatest female fight in UFC history.

But the duo were then rushed to hospital having both suffered battered and bruised faces.

ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani confirmed Jedrzejczyk was discharged from hospital with no significant injuries.
