UFC Denver News: Fight Ends After Nasty Cut Leaves Fighter's Eyebrow Hanging Off

Silva appeared close to ending things late in the second round when he staggered Dober with a spinning elbow, and in the third round a second check of the UFC veteran's nasty cut encouraged the cageside doctor to suggest that the bout be stopped.

The result leaves Dober on a two-fight skid after he also lost to Renato Moicano earlier this year, while Silva picked up his third victory in the UFC with all of those wins coming via stoppage.

The UFC Denver main card got off to a disappointing start when the curtain jerker between Cody Brundage and Abdul Razak Alhassan ended in a No Contest, but that was followed by a submission-win from Julian Erosa and solid scrap between Gabriel Bonfim and Ange Loosa before Silva and Dober went to war in the Octagon.
