Rachael Ostovich has been hospitalized for “major injuries” after allegedly being attacked in Honolulu, according to a report from TMZ Sports.
Ostovich is believed to have suffered a broken orbital bone during the incident, although the specific nature of her injuries is currently unknown. The UFC flyweight was reportedly attacked by someone close to her.
Ostovich, 27, is a native of Honolulu with a 4-4 professional record in MMA. She went 2-2 during a four-bout stint in Invicta Fighting Championships before appearing on Season 26 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” She made her debut in the Octagon with a first-round submission of Karine Gevogyan at the “TUF 26” finale before tapping out to a rear-naked choke against Montana De La Rosa at the “TUF 27” finale in her most recent outing.
Ostovich was scheduled to return to action against Paige VanZant at a UFC Fight Night card in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Jan. 19, an event which will mark the promotion’s debut on ESPN+.
