Gaethje implying that Poirier pokes his eye on purpose in retaliation.

[RiotWyatt]

“That was a good one!”

 

[det_regnar_på_vår_kärlek]

Poke the mfer in the eye and then go for the knockout

 

[McSpikes]

Justin acted like a douche tonight, glad he got knocked silly

 

[greenhawk]

Good. Gathje poked him twice. Once is a mistake twice isn't . He deserved that.

 

[r-harper-1]

Poirier gets 4 years to recover and Gaethje gets nothing

 

[Kirin]

Did he think he had a monopoly on eyepokes? I'm glad someone finally decided to do that; tired of seeing guys get eyepoked then have to deal with that while their opponent reaps the benefit of fighting someone with impaired vision.

 

[Gabe]

Good.

I wouldn't quite go that far but I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
It's the same with low blows, mma fighters don't seem to give one back but boxers usually do.

On both eyepokes Poiriers hands are wide open in gaethjes face too. They just didn't land. It was a great fight and the second eyepoke was the best thing to happen to the diamond

is aw bas rutten on JRE and he way saying how in pancrase which is open palm striking no one ever landed eye pokes.. and he said that he thinks alot of guys do it on purpose.

And Gaethje should have been disqualified for the 2nd eye poke. JUST LOOK AT THE FIRST ROUND YOU GOD DAMN MORON. JP looked completely fine -- then he gets eye poked and his eye is swollen as hell at the end of the round. The damage to JP's eye was 100% from the eye poke.

The 1st eye poke should have been 1 point, and the 2nd should have been a DQ.

I'm only sad that Gaethje doesn't have permanent vision damage. I have no sympathy for pathetic, disgusting, dirty, gutless cheaters like Gaethje.

Dude you are a raging weirdo. Get a hold of yourself damnit.

Why? Geathje committed the ultimate combat sports faux pas. He was clearly losing the standup and his leg kicks weren't working.

Both of those eye pokes were intentional.

THEN JG HAD THE IGNORANCE TO COMPLAIN WHEN HE GOT POKED BACK.

Agree definitely the second eye poke looked really bad.

 

[Rod Farva]

It probably was intentional. Even if they take a point away, it doesn’t help your condition any

 

[Dbreiden83080]

So what??

You poked him twice..

 

[Muay Thai #1]

That's my biggest problem with this. The fact that Justin was given no time to recover and the possibly the Dr checking it (Dustin was given the option twice)

Kinda amatuerish on Herb's part. Just because its the end of the round doesn't mean a foul wasn't committed

Step away from your keyboard.

1. You really have no idea whether the eye pokes are intentional or not. They very well could have been... but also they very well may not have been. Shit happens in a fight, especially after you've been punched in the head 100+ times.

2. Wishing permanent eye damage on someone makes you "pathetic, disgusting, and gutless", not Gaethje.

as the old saying goes and eye for an eye

Gaychee got to take a breather while his opponent tried to recover his vision.

Karma got him though.
