Media Gane intentionally eye-poking Volkov

And yet he still lost.

Without Dana White's privilege, Gane would have to fight Jailton at UFC 321 (and would lose badly).
 
Pull up the spivac fight.

Cyril uses both hands !
 
He needs to tidy up his game for sure but I don't believe he does it on purpose. He's like the nicest guy in the league, never had a beef with anyone, and nobody has a bad thing to say about his personality. I think the eyepokes are just a result of the same laziness and unprofessionalism that caused him to get subbed in 46 secs by JJ and dominated by elite Cameroon wrestler Ngannou.

Bro how is this Volkov poke even unintentional? Unless you are saying he is really that dumb to not realize his fingers can poke opponents in the eye.

This is a habit he has developed intentionally so he can hide behind incompetence for those willing to believe it.

He should not hold his hand out like that, and yeah he might be that "dumb" (I'd call it unprofessional). It's not that he doesn't know but he forgets in the moment. And you can't deny Volkov is ducking his head and stepping right into it. It's not like he's poking a stationary guy. It's basically a collision of hand and face (it's more visible in the first angle, the slow mo angle makes it look worse).

I don't see how you forget it after training it for months if not years. I'd understand if he was getting attacked and did that as a desperate reaction. But this is just obviously thought out, unless he is training this way too.

It looks bad I'll give you that, so I don't blame you. I just think there's a tendency among MMA fans to think they know exactly what was going on inside a fighters head when they don't ACTUALLY know. Look at all the people ready to crucify Aspinall because they think they know what he was doing. I chose to give Gane (and Tom) the benefit of the doubt based on what I know about him, but again he has a history of it so I don't blame you, and in a way he deserves the criticism even if I don't fully agree with it.
