It turns out that Yadong Song dealt with more than just a nasty cut in his loss to Cory Sandhagen in the UFC Fight Night 210 headliner.
The Team Alpha Male product posted a photo of an X-ray taken after the bout while revealing that he suffered a fractured orbital.
“Since Round 2, I was seeing triple vision because of this orbital fracture,” Song wrote on Instagram. “I was facing three Cory in front of me. A titanium piece will put in for me next week, will come back tougher with the metal.”
Sandagen did the damage in Round 2, when he landed a standing elbow strike that opened a significant cut about Song’s left eye. The wound deepened as the bout progressed, and a doctor waved off the fight prior to the fifth round. A timetable for Song’s return is currently unclear.
The 24-year-old “Kung Fu Kid” had a three-fight winning streak snapped in defeat. He is 8-2-1 in UFC competition with wins over the likes of Marlon Moraes, Casey Kenney and Marlon Vera.
