Hot Take Gane is the problem, NOT Aspinall

[Urluberluu]

Eye pokes are common in most fights. I've never seen an eye poke escalate like this, Tom just keeps crying made thousand videos about it .

It's never happened in any sport that an athlete was banned for life or received exemplary punishments (like the ones i read here) when a foul created career problems for an opponent, and it's something that's happened thousands of times.
Fouls happen: the concept of "foul" exists precisely because they're a variable already foreseen by those who write the rules of the game.
MMA fans, at least those who waste time on social media gossip, are a strange breed: come back down to earth because i think that you have forgotten what real life has always been.

Fair point, I always thought Gane caused the issue of this whole debacle. He should get all the blame, and I was rooting for the guy. And still will in his next fight.

Both things can be true.

Gane did a very scummy thing and what makes it so bad is he hides all of his crimes behind a fake nice guy act.

Tommy has handled this thing horribly. I was on his side at first but this fake 'surgery' drama has really put me off.

Is a better glove design really this hard?

Eat shit crybaby tom.

 

[TJH Exitium]

Wow. Sherdog really is full of absolute retards..

Gane is the problem. He is the one who caused this. He should have been DQ. And fined. And denied a future title shot.

Retards.

Whatever you want to do to Gane, share some hate with Gaethje. Don't wanna do that? You don't hate the eyepokes you hate the fighter.

its not a hot take its common take

 

[RockyLockridge]

Do you actually believe this shit or are you playing a character for the forums?

Its the unabashed truth

Gane was whooping Tom ass effortlessly

"Let me just poke him on purpose to end this fight Im easily winning."

Life itself is as fair as fair gets. People make life unfair. They should get the blame for it, not life, but the people who say that life is unfair love saying it for others, cuz they'd rather write it off then be bothered to place the blame. That is until they're dealing with the unfairness, then suddenly you usually know exactly who's to blame

Fair enough, I'll say this then: people have not been fair to Tom Aspinall re the eyepoke situation. Especially his fucking boss. Gane is getting a pass for a severe, possibly career ending foul and fans are unfairly mocking Tom. That being said...some of the banter has been funny AF.

Dwight... Eye poker ... Title holder

Cereal Gains... Eye poker ... 4 title shots

Just'n GayG... Eye poker ... Interim title.


It's definitely the secret move of the modern era.

So fucking desperate are these Tomboys. Gane gets DQ'd for the first time ever in his career and he's a cheater because Tom bitched the fuck OUT out of that fight. Did he poke Ngannou and Jones while he was losing?!

So Gane just singled Tom out while beating him on the feet, huh?! Tom couldn't have faked it because he's so classy...and he never quits...right?

Gane wasn't disqualified.

It was a no contest.

Don't let me educate you though.
