Eddie Alvarez stated soon after his bareknuckle battle with Mike Perry that he thought his orbital was “smashed up” – and he was .
Alvarez, a previous UFC and Bellator champion, lost to Perry this past Saturday at BKFC 56 after his cornermen chose to stop the battle. They did so after the 2nd round when Alvarez informed them he was havingahardtime with his vision.
On Monday, Alvarez shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) in which he verified suffering 2 fractures in his left orbital.
