Eddie ?The Filipino Phenom? (16-5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), was set to fight last September 1, 2012 against Dennis Siver (20-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC), but the whole card was cancelled. Instead, the featherweight bout will take place at UFC on FOX 5 on December 8, 2012 at KeyArena in Seattle.
The Filipino Phenom seeks to earn the biggest win of his career after earning a split-decision win over Mark Hominick at UFC 145 event. The heart pounding, bloody encounter earned the two protagonist the evening's "Fight of the Night" bonus. With the hard-fought win, Yagin was able to earn his first UFC victory following his defeat in his UFC debut against Junior Assuncao via unanimous decision.
