Stop fronting. You guys would absolutely lose your shit if fighters were instantly DQ'ed.

 

[melans]

instant point deduction would be better

I agree completely, but one eye poke, even if it doesn't appear bad can have such an impact on a fighters vision.
It's a shit situation, but something needs to be done about all the intentional fouls that fighters take advantage of with no repercussion.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Not at all, you are just in denial.

Lol. No really. You havent get the slightest clue what the fuck you're talking about and the fact that you would pretend to understand someone else's life is just pure comedy.

You'd be better off just staying quiet my friend but by all means continue to spout whatever nonsense you like for my ongoing amusement.

I can't promise you I'll take you in any way seriously, quite the opposite in fact. I'll literally just use your posts for a laugh but honestly, by all means give it a try if you'd like.

100%.

The process should be easy and reusable for groin strikes. Replay official spots foul, calls for time (5 min begins), confirms/rejects deduction via replay, ref communicates outcome to each corner, resume immediately or decide to continue before 5 minutes are up. Avoids the Weidman scenario and no longer are there free fouls every fight.

Just fine like 20% of purse per poke. Problem solved. No way im pokin if it costs me living- essential money.

Jones would be 0-29-1

nah, a W is more beneficial for your career anyways

if I'm only losing some cash, even if I need cash, fuck it, let me eyepoke my way to a victory then

That would be a sport killer. A lot of eye pokes are legitimately unintentional and just something that happens.

This is the $10,000 question: At the highest level in the world, are eye pokes actually accidents?

1 point auto, 2nd DQ is the only way to find out.

You seem angry. Didn't you smoke anything today? lmao

Do you ever watch South park?

There's one episode in particular that may ring a bell with you...

I don't remember, it must be the weed

It's got some really fun parallels with your own situation.

 

[Lord Grey]

Time to start giving hard warnings and deducting points for fighters extending their fingers toward their opponents. Kill that habit before the eye pokes happen. Too often we see refs warn for that and the fighters immediately extend their fingers toward the opponent, with no repercussions.

 

[cburm]

I am chilling as I smoked a little bit of weed, so forgive me if I stupid. But I think this would be smart: instant dq with an eye poke.

Eye poking is extremely risky. Who would wants to lose his vision. I will tel you, I dont. You cant have fighters poking each other in the eye.

Secondly, you would have a high number of diaqualifications at the start
But watch it go down as fighters get accustomed to the rule.

It is this simple

It's ignorant then every first time offense would be a dq back of the head ect

This is the contention point: How many of these eye pokes are truly "unintentional"?

If the UFC succeeds in lobbying the commissions (which I believe they will, if they are committed) to institute a mandatory point deduction for every eye poke, I believe we will see a 90% reduction the frequency of eye pokes within a few months.

And if we do see eye pokes drop by 90% due to mandatory enforcement, then that's proof that 90% of these pokes are in fact "accidentally-on-purpose". IMO that should necessitate going back and issuing a bunch of DQ's to fighters that got away with pokes.

i'd say almost everyone.

i seriously doubt it.

i seriously doubt it.

Well, if the UFC institute a mandatory point deduction policy, we are about to find out.
