Scary, hope Mr. Yagin is ok.

On a side note does anybody else think of him as some badass villain from a kung fu flick?

Did someone beat him with a bat or something?
What kind of training is he doing?

i've had a buddy screw his neck up while rolling with another guy during BJJ training. He had his back and the guy on the bottom rolled and their arms were tied up and he went face first into the mat and he isnt able to fight anymore because of the damage it did to his neck, hopefully its not the same sort of situation here

Yagin’s family told House that there is blood around his brain that is causing swelling, thus, putting pressure on his brain, but they were told by his doctor that he believes surgery won’t be necessary, that the swelling should go down on its own in the coming days.

Thank god. That's scary shit right thurr.

Yagin scored his first victory in the Octagon at UFC 145 earlier this year with a split decision win over Mark Hominick, one of the top fighters in the weight class.

I was in attendance and he put on quite a show. I became a fan of his that night for sure. Here's to hoping this works out.
