Video: Why you don't blow your nose in the UFC

Alvarez

Sounds strange, but watch the video below of American lightweight Eddie Alvarez during his fight with Gilbert Melendez at UFC 188.

Alvarez copped a vicious elbow to the eye early in the fight which did a bit of damage.

He fought on, but watch what happens when he blows his nose at the end of the round. 

You can see the moment when he realises what he’s done. 

Here’s the elbow that did the damage. 

 

Funnily enough, Alvarez, puffy eyes and all, went on to win the bout.
