Eye pokes are ruining UFC faster than betting is ruining NFL

[filthynumber1]

Honestly why doesnt the UFC address the eye poke issue? Makes no sense

Its an easy fix. 1st eye poke point deduction, 2nd eye poke DQ
Makes perfect sense

And dont give a fuck if its intentional or not. Rules apply

As far as NFL there's no saving that one.
NFL is fucked

The athletic commissions set the rules, not the UFC.

Ok. So why don’t they do something? Take a point for the first eye poke and I promise you’ll see them magically disappear.

UFC is bigger than the NFL though

1. The UFC doesn't regulate fouls. But they could certainly revisit the glove issue. It's strange that a 2003 account doesn't understand this.
2. How exactly is betting "ruining the NFL"?

We've gone through this, but again...

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.

Thing is, some people will fake not being able to continue after an eyepoke to get an easy DQ win.

 

[Deathmask]

Fix.

The.

Gloves.

 

[whocares]

Interesting to have a flawed scoring system that was never intended for mma that inhibits judging or reffing the fight properly, and just keeping that system forever. It's not a coincidence. People are always making big money off of a rigged system, thats why it never changes.

Video review is a must

Ok, so no more combos or takedowns or anything that would leave the eyes unprotected, always have at least one glove protecting the eyes at all times, preferably two . Put the onus on the one being fouled, not the dirty fouler or the ref who is supposed enforce the rules. Makes sense.

We know for a fact now, after the Browns game that gambling controls every NFL outcome, Polymarket has the last 13 games correct. UFC isnt that bad yet.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

New ufc training gloves so fighters can prepare for eye pokes.

 

[FriskyRandy]

Let me bet on eye pokes

I don't believe taking a point away will make a difference

 

[stormofshadow]

i blame the victim.

eye poke defense has been around forever.

Was that the game where they punted on the 29 yard line where a FG would have covered the spread?

Ufc has major influence. For example I remember when Dana pubically stated Steve mazagatti would never ref a fight again or Yamasaki would never ref a fight again and neither of them have. There gone. Aren't those controlled by the athletic commission?
Ufc has major influence. Eye pokes are ruining the sport. Do something
Sherdogggers love to nitpick the particulars while ignoring the actual
issues.
Is it maybe for post likes, i dont know?

Anyways
Humans are corrupt as fuck. when it comes to money. More money = more corrupt
The Isaac Dulgariane betting scandal as an example ufc wise. Just a small example

I do enjoy watching NFL as the men on the field put their lives on the line, just like ufc. But just last weekend the Cleveland Browns punted on the other teams 29 yard line near the end of the game where those 3 points would have covered the spread. No one punts on the other teams 29 ever. Like ever. Its corrupt
If you dont think the NFL is corrupt, which is a billion dollar corporation I have a bridge I can sell you.
Its all corrupt.
I enjoy it for what is. Just dont bet.

Man, I hadn't really watched football consistently in years before Thanksgiving. Shit was like watching paint dry after watching this last season of rugby.
