Henry Cejudo still sees double
After he was checked in a local hospital, Cejudo claimed that Yadong's Eye Poke left him with Diplopie, damage to soft tissue and a Cornea wear.
On Tuesday he gave a further update about what the doctors said about his injury and the impact he has at home while filming the poundcast of Pound 4 Pound that he shares with former UFC champion Welterweight Kamaru Usman.
“Things are still blurry in my left eye,” said Cejudo
“I still see double. Even if I look at the fight on the screen now, my eye is still not good.
“Fortunately I saw the ophthalmologist today, guy, and this is what she said,” If that little finger would have beaten you in the student, you would be blind. ”
“I have a dent in my eye. It torn torn. I don't know the exact term, but it is damaged. “
Eye Poke costs Henry Cejudo $ 150,000
Cejudo has called for a rematch and some rule changes in the aftermath of his controversial loss.
The 38-year-old was opened about the financial impact that a bad referee can have on UFC hunters.
“That just cost me $ 150,000,” Cejudo added
'Do you know what I am saying? I have children. That's the prize money for me. It is not only finished – – and profit.
'That's the same reason why I decided to go back [into the fight]. “
Cejudo song was stopped after the fourth round went on and it was decided after the three rounds because of eye samples that made Cejudo who were unable to continue.

“We could delete it. If my eye gets better, I am ready in May and Song has all his chance for Petr Yan, so give me petr yan, guy. “
