UFC Fighter's Nasty Eye Injury Leaves Fans Concerned

UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi is going down on Saturday and one of the early fights on the card is catching everyone's attention.

The featherweight fight between Steven Nguyen and Mohammad Yahya saw plenty of knockdowns, all of which Yahya was the victim of. In fact, Nguyen broke a UFC record by knocking Yahya down six times.

The fight was finally stopped following Round 2, when Yahya's eye was swollen to a level that must be seen to be believed. The swelling might signify a broken orbital bone, but that hasn't been confirmed. 

Here's a look at the photo of his eye.

Even the biggest UFC fans couldn't believe what they were seeing with Yahya's eye and there was obviously some concern. Others blamed the referee for letting it get to that point.

"I hope his eye gets better wow," a concerned viewer wrote.

"What injury is this? Never seen an eye blow up like a blister," one UFC fan wrote. "Crazy."

"The worst eye injury I've ever seen," a commenter exclaimed.

"The referee should be fined and jailed," another UFC fan said.

"Fire the ref," another reply to the video said. "This is a shame."

For Yahya, this was his first fight in the featherweight division, and his third overall in the UFC after he lost his first two as a lightweight, according to UFC Stats.

Meanwhile, Nguyen, who dominated the fight throughout, has his first UFC victory after losing last year to Jarno Errens in an unanimous decision.
