Do any fighters fight with soft contact lenses?

[shredman]

Is that something that's commonly done? Is it dangerous? Can you fight with soft contact lenses?

I think it's technically against the rules but a lot of fighters do it anyway.

I remember the days when fighters were allowed to wear eye glasses

Rampage did

Bisping literally fought with one eye

 

[sweetviolenturg]

Larry Holmes fought Evander Holyfield with soft contacts in & they were promptly knocked out of his eyes in the early rounds. So, he never repeated that experiment again.

Yeah I feel bad for anyone interested in fighting that has bad vision. There's really no good options.

Used soft contact lens my whole sparring life
You will lose them in a way or another a good 1/3 of the times

But only real annoying scenario is that you may think to have lost it, instead it got pushed inside in some hidden corner of your eye and you will sleep with it

On positive side, one more reason to dodge lol

Rollin with contacts is kind of a tossup, a lot of the head chokes literally squeeze the contacts out my eyes which sucks especially if I just replaced them

I imagine any kind of striking would be far worse, but at least I’m nearsighted
