I agree that Rampage also should have been disciplined.
I don't really get the Bisping reference, in terms of the eye poke, though. The referee determined that it was accidental, so they went to the score cards. Had it happened in the first round, it'd have been a NC. But it happened in the 3rd so it went to the cards. Had the ref determined it was intentional, it would have been a DQ.
I do think Bisping should have been DQed for the knee on Rivera, though. It was obviously illegal and obviously intentional, and Rivera had no business continuing that fight.
Rivera could have said he can't continue and would have won by DQ. Instead he chose to fight on and try and win legitimately . It was his decision.
