Song Yadong has claimed he had "triple vision" after being defeated by Cory Sandhagen when he suffered a nasty cut which saw the fight stopped.
Yadong was taking another step up at bantamweight by facing fellow contender Sandhagen in the main event of a UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex earlier this month. His rival opened up a nasty cut above his eye during the second round after landing a clinical elbow, but the 'Kung Fu Kid' continued to fight on despite the wound worsening with every minute.
In the fourth round, UFC doctors stepped in to take a look at the gruesome cut and deemed he was unable to continue, which saw Sandhagen halt his two-fight losing streak. Yadong has detailed the impact his devastating injury had on his performance, revealing he will now have surgery on the damage.
