Evan Elder saw his ‘Fight of the Night’ with Nazim Sadykhov end abruptly after he suffered a gruesome cut above his right eye.
Featured on the preliminary portion of UFC Vegas 69 on Saturday, Elder and Sadykhov were involved in an all-action affair that saw both men have their moments. One of the most significant came in the third round when the ‘Black Wolf’ threw a head kick that opened up the cut on the ‘Phenom,’ who bled immediately. When there was a lull in the action, referee Mark Smith requested the cageside physician to examine the cut.
