Pain means that there's some type of bodily damage, and it doesn't have to leave a surface mark or bruise, though that's usually indicative of more serious damage.
Without further testing (X-ray, MRI or CT) you can only speculate. But I will tell you that if the person you fought was a trained fighter (pro or not makes no difference in the eyes of the law) and you were injured, then you have a legal case, depending on who started the altercation. Of course if it was you, then keep your mouth shut - then it becomes a case of assault and self-defense.

Put ice on it (not directly) and that should halt any swelling. The bruise should go away on its on in a week or so.
