Stone Cold Steve Austin stomped a mudhole in some guys face last week -- giving an MMA fighter two black eyes and a broken nose -- but the whole thing was a giant accident.

The former beer swiggin', middle finger flashin' WWE champ was shooting a fight scene for a new movie with MMA fighter Paul Lazenby last week, when Austin accidentally landed a solid left hook, according to MMAScoops.com.

Lazenby bled for 20 minutes while medics tended his wound. There was no retaliation from the fighter though -- Lazenby chalked the whole thing up as a freak accident.
