Any fighter that gets eye poked or low blowed should refuse to fight on

I think fighters need to just stop fighting if they get eye poked or low blowed, hurt or not, just refuse.

Either get a DQ win or no contest that shit. You still get paid and you get a early night at the office.

If this happened across the board, these fouls will be taken far more seriously.
 
That is a good way to get on the UFC and Dana's bad side. If you do it multiple times? Good chance you will be cut.

Cody Brundage milked a DQ win last year from an illegal elbow. He just took an NC for illegal elbows this summer. Good chance he doesn't fight in UFC again.

UFC might hate you, but it’d be terrible publicity for them cutting someone who was fouled and refused to fight for said foul.

Plus, I feel like that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
 
I dont generally agree but Anthony Smith should have taken the W over Jones and gone into full troll mode
Should have talked it up about how he dominated Jon, finished the fight inside the distance, and took the belt home with no question as to who won the fight. He could have hammed it up to legendary status and would still be beloved here even after getting his ass kicked in the rematch.
 
Refs never call low blows and eye pokes intentional. Never has a eye poke been punished. They don't wanna tell the fighter it's intentional. How abour change the rule from intentional to reckless eye poke foul ?

you act like they dont give them time to recover
these guys shouldnt even be fighters or warriors in the first place
if thats what you wanted
 
Yes, because milking a foul makes you popular as fuck. Remember how Sherdog loved Aljo when he got the dq vs Yan?
 
Honestly, it should be on the refs, not the fighters. They're there to protect the fighters and asking a semi-KOed fighter if they're "good" just isn't good enough.
 
Not a super honorable way to win the fight.

Accidents happen and as long as you can reasonably continue then I think you should fight on.

Obviously if your are genuinely injured or it significantly impairs you then I think its fine to not continue. And certainly I don't think a fighter should be allowed to cheat, even soft cheating where you do things like extending fingers in the direction of someone's face but don't actually poke the eye. There should definitely be penalties for anything other than a clear one time accident.
