Dazed MMA fighter whacked after quitting on round

A dazed MMA fighter has copped a beating after mistakenly thinking the round was already over.

After taking multiple big shots to the face, female MMA fighter Calie Cutler was (wishfully?) thinking she'd already heard the bell ring to signify the end of the round.

Instead, what she had actually heard was the 10 second warning bell.

As she walked back to her corner with her hands on her hips, her confused opponent Alexa Connors looks to the referee who instructs her to keep fight.

In an extremely dangerous moment, Connors then proceeds to whack Cutler, who is completely defenceless.

Luckily no serious damage was done, but it could have been a lot worse.

Connors went on to win the bout via unanimous decision.

The incident is another bad look for Mixed Martials Arts, after a weekend of controversy in the UFC.

Firstly, Daniel Cormier seemingly cheated the weigh-in for his UFC 210 Main Event.

Then the co-main event was ended due to an officiating blunder.
