The Asian star was left with a nasty gash above his eye going into the fifth round, two judges had the 135lbs contest even on the scorecards, while another had Sandhagen winning 3-1.

But the stoppage looks even wiser now as the Team Aplha Male star revealed that he also sustained a fractured orbital bone during the bout.

Yandong took to social media as he shared pictures of the X-Ray.

The fighter also revealed that he was seeing triple from after the opening round of the bout against Sandhagen.

He tweeted: Since round 2, I was seeing triple vision because of this orbital fracture, I was facing three Cory in front of me.

A titanium piece will put in for me next week, will come back tougher with the metal.

The fighter made a further revelation as he confirmed that he will need a titanium plate inserted in his face after the injury.

Orbital injuries that require surgery are incredibly serious.

So, it's unsure as to how long the 24-year-old up and coming star will need on the side line.

Elsewhere, SBG Ireland's Brian Moore has paid an incredible gesture to his close friend and team mate Conor McGregor.

Speaking with Sunsport, Moore told of his admiration for team mate Conor McGregor after the UFC star posted an audio message on twitter.

The Crumlin UFC star hailed his classy bantamweight pal as he called for the promotion to give the Wexford ace a world title shot.

'Pikeman' is coming off a huge victory just last week at Bellator 285 in Dublin after putting on a striking clinic as he out classed Arivaldo Lima da Silva at Dublin's 3Arena.
