Multiple upsets, two fight-ending eyepokes, one dislocated thumb, and one circus match-up of a main event. It's safe to say UFC 159 was a strange night.

In the end, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones did exactly what he was supposed to, finishing Chael Sonnen via TKO with 27 seconds left in the first round to match Tito Ortiz's record of five successful 205-pound UFC title defenses. Yet in doing so, "Bones" also saved the night from further controversy, as a gruesome broken toe on Jones' left foot revealed itself just seconds into his post-fight interview.

UFC cameras later pinpointed the moment in which Jones' toe snapped -- defending a takedown roughly 2:40 into the fight -- which meant that Jones not only did most of his damage despite the grisly injury, but also if Sonnen had held on for just 30 seconds longer, we may have seen one of the most controversial finishes to a UFC title fight in recent memory. But as it stands, Jones emerged victorious once more, while Sonnen's future is again shrouded in doubt following another championship setback.

Quick stoppage especially for a title fight. — Dan Henderson (@danhendo) April 28, 2013

1 good knee and 1 good elbow. Pretty early stoppage for a title fight! WTF this ref didn't see @shanecarwin vs Lesnar huh — Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) April 28, 2013

Early? @ufc #ufc159 might have finished him in 10more secs. Great fight! — Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) April 28, 2013

Fortunately this is not scripted pro wrestling where a loud mouth beats people. When you talk you have to answer to real punches and kicks — isaac vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) April 28, 2013

Wow what a bizarre event... 4 crazy injuries.. if chael could have survived long enough for Jones to look down....he'd be champ — Mike Brown (@mikebrownmma) April 28, 2013

Talk shit if you want about Sonnen but at least he comes to fight always. — Tom Kong Watson (@TomKongWatson) April 28, 2013

Horrible eye poke but good job Bisping. How does belcher talk so much before the fight then not come to fight just back away when 2 rds down — Tom Kong Watson (@TomKongWatson) April 28, 2013

Got to make a new rule on eye pokes or something! — Cung Le (@CungLe185) April 28, 2013

I hope belchers eye is alright. Blood coming from the eye doesn't look very good at all. What a poor end to the bout. Such a shame. — Andy Ogle (@thelittleaxe) April 28, 2013

Wow another eye poke and this one is terrible. I hope belcher's eye is ok but doesn't take away from bisping's great performance! #ufc159 — Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) April 28, 2013

Well Belcher was right, Bisping couldn't knock him out with his best punch lol but he sure did eat a lot of them! Hope his eye is good — Luke Rockhold (@LukeRockhold) April 28, 2013

I've always been a fan of Belcher because he brings it and fights reckless..but tonight there was no sense of urgency or push at all :( — Brian Rogers (@BRogthePredator) April 28, 2013
