Filed under: News , UFC There was a time not long ago when Eddie Wineland was having some second thoughts about this whole fighting thing, even if he didn’t plan on having them. At UFC Fight Night 40 against Johnny Eduardo in Cincinnati, Wineland became the victim of one of the biggest upsets in UFC history , at least as far as the betting odds are concerned, when the Brazilian knocked him out and handed him his second career broken jaw . That broken jaw, along with the pending birth of his first child, gave Wineland some pause when considering whether or not to come back. He eventually did, but wasn’t himself in a tentative performance against Bryan Caraway in July 2015. But 2016 brought the return of the Wineland of old. In front of his home fans in Chicago, he picked up a $50,000 performance bonus for a knockout of Frankie Saenz.
