This past weekend at UFC 211, streaking featherweight prospect Yair Rodriguez stepped into the Octagon with former UFC light heavyweight champion Frankie Edgar in a pivotal featherweight battle. For Edgar, he was looking to pick up his second straight win after bouncing back from a UFC 200 defeat to Jose Aldo<\/a> for the interim title by defeating Jeremy Stephens via unanimous decision at UFC 205<\/a>. For Rodriguez on the other hand, he was looking to pick up the biggest win of his career, as well as his 7th straight win in the UFC.<\/p>\n

Going into the fight, many believed that Edgar was the biggest test of El Pantera’s career, making the fight an extremely high-stakes one for ‘The Answer’. <\/p>\n

When the pair stepped into the Octagon, Edgar dominated the fight through the first two rounds before the doctor ultimately stopped the fight due to a horrific eye injury sustained by Rodriguez as a result of the vicious ground and pound from Frankie Edgar.<\/p>\n

Several days following the fight, Rodriguez took to social media to show off the return of his eye!<\/p>\n
