Eddie Alvarez ended up with a broken jaw following his BKFC KnuckleMania V headliner against Jeremy Stephens on Saturday night.
‘The Underground King’ threw in the towel shortly after the conclusion of the third round, handing ‘Lil Heathen’ his third straight win inside the squared circle. The decision left many fight fans scratching their head as Alvarez didn’t appear to have any significant cuts or obvious injuries.
However, the former UFC lightweight champion offered some insight into his decision to end the bout early on Monday, revealing that his jaw was broken early on in the fight and he simply couldn’t fight through it any longer.
