Liana Jojua's nose was a mess by the end of her fight at UFC 254, Dana White has evidence to support the claim.
The UFC President posted two photos, side-by-side, after Miranda Maverick's first-round finish against Jojua on Saturday. The image on the left shows a deep gash across the bridge of Jojua's nose. The image on the right shows the defeated fighter getting stitched up.

The preliminary fight was officially stopped at 5:00 of round one. Maverick landed a slicing step-in elbow towards the end of round one. The ringside doctor examined Jojua's cut and deemed her unable to continue after her corner was unable to stop the bleeding.
This elbow landed CLEAN! --
