A shocking moment in which an MMA fighter had his eyeballs punched out of SOCKET, leaving viewers squirming until the doctor can get it fixed.

A MMA fighter suffered a horrific injury that saw his eyeball ripped out of its socket.

Fans were left stunned when Mark Martin was struck by Dilano Taylor, their opponent in the PFL matchup in Orlando.

The ball rose from its usual spot and climbed up into the eyelid towards his eyebrow.

Martin was determined to continue the fight, which is amazing.

After the first round, the doctor entered the octagon to examine the damage. The referee then declared Taylor the winner.

The left eye of the 28-year old was visible damaged. It was even suggested that he had fractured his orbital bone.

Martin was taken to the hospital immediately to be examined and treated.

Both fighters came into the PFL Challenger Series 2 clash sporting 7-1 pro records in MMA.

Martin got off to a brighter start, landing the first few shots in the opening round.

However, Taylor was able to regain momentum and fought back against the Showman. He caught him with a series punches and smashed his eye.

Twitter users were shocked by the images and wishes of those who witnessed the injury.

One replied, "I hope they are able to save his eye."

Another said: "Mark Martin suffered one of the most severe eye injuries I've ever seen." It looks like the eye was coming out from the socket.

"Big win for Dilano, Taylor; a shame that it ends so early as the fight started getting moving but the right decision to end the bout."

A final user said: "This sport, man." We pray for Mark Martin that his eye will turn out okay.
