Paul “the Irish Dragon” Felder’s nasty eye gash proves UFC doctor stoppage was justified

Elbows like knives

Francisco Trinaldo parted Paul Felder’s eyebrow from flesh like a different kind of Red Sea at UFC Brasilia.

Brazilian lightweight Trinaldo improved his win-streak to seven straight with a TKO victory over flashy striker Felder on UFC Fight Night 95’s main card on Saturdya night.

Felder ate a lot of devastating shots from his opponent during the bout including a ferocious elbow from the top that opened such a very deep gash on his eyebrow. The resulting wound was so bad that the referee called the fight under doctor’s instructions and awarded the TKO victory to Trinaldo.

The crowd inside the Nilson Nelson Gymnasium cheered on as their hometown fighter was awarded the win and judging by how Felder’s eye looked after the fight, Felder can have no complaints about the stoppage.

Yikes.

This picture is even nastier!!! @felderpaul
