It didn't just look like Eddie Alvarez wasn't able to see out of his right eye while watching at home. He actually couldn't.
Gilbert Melendez caught Alvarez with a perfect standing elbow in the first round and it broke Alvarez's nose and orbital bone at UFC 188 on Saturday night. In between rounds, Alvarez, not realizing how severe it was, blew his nose, which caused the eye to swell shut. The rest of the fight was an uphill battle for the Philadelphia native.
"I didn't know where he was," Alvarez told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.
