Alongside his first statement on this past weekend's result, Eddie Alvarez has revealed the brutal injury he sustained at BKFC KnuckleMania V.
Alvarez, a former UFC lightweight champion, fell to a negative 1-2 record under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship at Saturday's high-profile event in his home city of Philadelphia.
After splitting his first two outings in 2023 — defeating Chad Mendes before a corner stoppage gave Mike Perry victory at his expense — "The Underground King" headlined the fifth installment of KnuckleMania opposite fellow former UFC fighter Jeremy Stephens.
After three rounds, Alvarez was deemed unable to continued by his corner, who chose to wave off the contest. That decision was widely supported, and anyone who questioned it likely won't be anymore after seeing the damage "Lil Heathen" dealt his opponent's way.
In a recent post on Instagram, the defeated 41-year-old displayed an X-ray image showing the gruesome jaw break he suffered at the hands of Stephens.
