I don't see anything wrong with winning by a punch to the eye.

[achoo42]

Moreno punched him in the eye and it swole up and Figgy couldn't see. I don't see any problem with that. Win by damage basically

It's better than Belfort grazing Couture with the stitching in his glove and cutting his eye open to win the title. At least Moreno was winning the fight

 

[Rod Farva]

It was more than a punch to the eye. It was a thumb. Granted, it wasn’t intentional, but it decided the fight

 

[Actualized174]

I think anybody watching that replay can clearly tell it was a clean, legal punch. Salty fans are salty though, nothing new.

 

[USA!USA!]

There is nothing wrong with it.

The brazilian fans are just sore losers.

It was the knuckle, not the thumb. You can't see the thumb go in there at all.

It's a legal shot that caused a doctor stoppage, nothing wrong with it and I was rooting for the guy

 

[Bojka]

2 of 3 sherdog judges had Fig up 2-1. I want some of what they are smoking, lmao.

R1 was close, but there is no way in hell Fig won R2.

 

[Jman]

More fighters should aim their punches to the eyes and nose. Forget the chin.

 

[sdpdude9]

Rendered him unable to continue due to damage from a legal strike. Don’t see any controversy whatsoever.

 

[bubbleboyjones]

bunch of pussies today

 

[Bojka]

How could Figgy be up if the round didn't end yet lol. It's 1-1 at best

The 3rd round did end it was stopped by the doctor between rounds.

The 3rd round did end it was stopped by the doctor between rounds.

My bad. Then yeah ofc Moreno won the 3rd round without question, and at least 1 or 2. Wasn't he ahead 20-9 strikes in round 1 or something

 

[Goodfella86]

It's not ideal, but it's a legitimate finish. Kinda like Ricco/Randy.

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

Figgy dropped his head leading into the punch. Legal.

 

[Nightgunner05]

Nothing wrong with that punch or that stoppage. Fig was gonna get hurt bad if it kept going.

 

[CainWasAble]

Man i need a gif

 

[humdizzle]

legal shot.

his knuckle hit the eye, not his finger.

 

[eiyuu]

It was a legal shot for Vitor when he won the title from Couture

 

[Raptors2019]

It was fair. If you don't like the rules then you can write an email to the UFC telling them how you don't approve of the rule.

Great win for Moreno, congrats..
