After today’s UFC Fight Night, Adrian Yanez’s ear took immediate attention. What happened to him?

Yanez was so engrossed at the moment that he didn’t notice his ear had swollen significantly.
What Happened To Adrian Yanez Ear?

As he took congratulations from a coach, Yanez began to examine his ear and observed how badly his left ear had enlarged, delivering some remark that was picked up by ESPN’s cameras.
During the post-fight press conference, former UFC champion Daniel Cormier took note of the 27-year-ear old’s and encouraged him to get it drained later.
With a convincing victory at UFC Fight Night, Adrian Yanez extended his MMA winning run to eight: Vieira vs. Tate. The 27-year-old has a 15-3 career MMA record.
