Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC Mohammad Yahya suffered a loss at UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday but he somehow escaped serious injury despite his eye ballooning up from the damage he absorbed in his fight against Steven Nguyen . After becoming the victim for the most knockdowns in a single fight in UFC history following six trips to the canvas, Yahya was sporting serious swelling around his left eye. A cut under the eye didn’t help but the swelling was so severe that he clearly couldn’t see anything out of that side of his face after the second round ended.
