Aspinall should run and eyepoke Gane

[Rdude92]

When the fight first began.

That would show em.

Intentionally lose this fight via DQ to make UFC focus on this problem and squash it.

The easy fix is to defend yourself and not let opponents stick their fingers in your eyes.

When you look at the best to do it, it really is NOT a problem.

We took for reference:
Khabib had 29 fights.
Islam has had 28.
Merab has had 25.
Khamzat has had 15.
And Fedor had 48.

And out of 145 fights, these men have been eye-poked exactly 0 times.

We then added on to that Georges' 28 fights and Anderson's 45, which gave us a sample of almost 200 fights...

WITH 1 EYE-POKE!

It was the bad one GSP took, but in that case of course, he toughed it out and went on to get the W anyways.

He should do it at weigh ins. Should wear eye protection to the faceoffs lol

 

[b00tysweat]

is he going to quit when his face gets busted up again?

 

[loisestrad]

Imagine not being able to protect your eyes as the HW champion of the world. The eyes are litteraly the most important part of the human body next to the balls.

A tiny girl could literally run up to Tom, stick her tiny fingers in his little eye, and she would be the new HW champion of the world.

Something needs to be done. We can't have tiny girls be the HW champion of the world.

Depends on whether the UFC chooses to DQ Gane for cheating

 

[orca]

he was a 2.0 younger hungrier version of jones
well rounded
champion striker
olympic wrestler
bjj wizard since he was a kid

he should have just done what jones did
thats the easiet way to do it
the problem is

is he really that guy who jones haters try to say

ive seen a poster here said he would surpass jones title wins
knocking 4 fighters every year under round 1

lmfao crazy right

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Honestly the rematch is going to be huge

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Yes, throw his career away to satisfy karate forum weirdos!

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

The absolute state of Tom fans
Huuuur, he should lose intentionally and cost himself and his family millions!! That’ll show DANA!!

Lol, fail. It's the EXACT opposite. I'm not a big AspirinTylenol fan, but your meme perfectly represents the mouth-breathers that are defending Gane's gouging, knuckle-deep, of Tom's eye(s), and arguing that Tom should have continued fighting blinded.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

And Gane will just keep on fighting. You know, like non pussy fighters do

 

[Lee Danger]

...yes and then get instantly dq for a blatant premeditated foul.

 

[Kwic]

Even if he did that, the ref would say "Listen, I know it wasn't intentional"

 

[Harlekin]

Why would he get DQed?
He has 2 free eyepokes.
As champ the 3rd one just gets him a point deduction. Probably doesn't matter in a 5 round HW bout.
After that he still has 2 dick kicks

Tom's gotta study up on old film of the Three Stooges
they perfected eyepoke defense before MMA even existed

lots of dumbasses in here cant seem to realize this thread was made in jest, by the way. its a joke, we joke here on Sherdog. buncha whiny babies.

 

[Michaelangelo]

Should start the fight with a low blow followed by a 3 stooges eye poke

it would really help things out if the UFC adopted the PRIDE gloves or Trevor Whitman's gloves.

is there any inside info on why they wont do that?

Like many things there is a degree of showmanship in MMA.

As everyone has been saying for a while, what you need to do is take some acting classes, then just every fight repeatedly poke your opponents in the eyes, punch the back of the head, grab the cage etc. and just act like you can't hear the ref when he says things like "Watch the fingers!" "Watch the back of the head!" and so on. If he stops the fight (for a while) at first act really surprised, like you don't know why the fight has been stopped. Then when it's explained to you act surprised, then like oh - I get it - then really contrite, do the prayer hands and bow to your opponent, extend out the hand for the fist bump etc. Then wait a short time and do it again.

When you kick your opponent straight in the balls with maximum force probably better not to pretend you don't know you did it, instead seem really frustrated and angry with yourself for your inaccuracy, then do the contrite act.

On the other hand any time your opponent even touches your face with a finger or knees anywhere near the groin etc. you need to be acting really bothered and hurt and appealing to the referee both verbally and by body language and gestures. Omg I can't see, omg this is so painful, omg I'm so rocked I don't know where I am due to that punch vaguely near the back of the head etc.

When on your back your strategy is just to hold your opponent to make it as difficult as possible for him to achieve anything. Make the fight as boring as possible, so the crowd start booing and the ref feels pressured to stand you up. On top however your priority is to maintain position, while doing just enough pitter-patter striking for the ref not to intervene. Make the strikes look as big-arc and hurtful as possible even though they are doing nothing. Let your opponent regain half-guard then pass it again, grab his arm and pretend to be working on a choke for a while then go back to striking etc.
