The lightweight fighter suffered a broken left orbital bone in his knockout loss to Charles Oliveira a week ago in Sao Paulo. Gordon (15-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) announced the news of his injury on his social media.

Gordon will have to undergo surgery Monday. It will be his second orbital bone procedure. He had an orbital repair in 2015 on the opposite side. Gordon, a New York native, is 31 and trains at Roufusport in Milwaukee.
