Is Sherdog going to pretend to ignore DC’s eyepoke?

Sherdog would be on meltdown and everyone would lose their shit if Jon Jones did this but Cormier gets away with it.




He just thrust his open hand at his face. How is that not a point deduction.
 
It was more of a razor-like flick than an actual poke. Very graceful IMO.
 
Don’t ignore the fact that he punched him in the face and knocked him out
 
dude is like 5'10 not 6'4 with a 84.5" reach, calm the fuck down.
 
He fought the entire fight with his fingers out, he poked him again right before he KO'd him. Can't blame him, blame the ref for not taking a point.
 
Because it wasnt the GOAT Jon Jones doing it.
 
He poked him on the same side the punch landed too. Kind of takes away from the victory a little.
 
I'm not. It was intentional.

Lost a lot of respect for DC doing that in spite of his win. He didn't just stick his fingers out he want from a semi closed fist to an intentional JKD style finger flick and thumb gouge and clearly raked Stipe's eye.

Shortly after lands a KO punch on the side of the head from the clinch on that same eye.

UFC was supposed to start holding fighter accountable for eye gouges. Its isn't like a groin shot where you can completely recover. You vision is fucked for a long duration time after, it doesn't just come back in a couple minutes.

The worst part is he said Stipe was a friend. When you have to stoop so slow to injure and potentially blind a friend just to win a prize fight is just sad.
 
There is at least 10 threads about the eye poke. It also wasn't a 2 finger poke directly to the eyes like Jones did. It was also 1 poke. Jones poked 3-4 times in 1 fight and poked 4-5 fights in a row.
 
OK we'll take a point and agree Steeopic won half a round before he got deaded

Feel better?
 
d.c is a cheat.

cheated the scales and nobody says a word

pokes stipe in the eye and no one bats an eye.

ufc needs an eyepoking and scale cheating comision
 
Ooooooh no a stern warning. Where is the point deduction?

Again what happened to cleaning up the sport? Yes, there is such thing as an unintentional eye gouge. But that is one of the most clear cut examples of "intentional" the sport will ever see.

It had no effect on the finish, but it's the only thing for the haters to cling to. Those same haters are the same ones who give guys like Gustaffson a pass for all his many eyepokes, and there are many. I wonder why that is.
 
Across all sports the athletes break and game the rules
Eye pokes are part of the game
Embrace that

DC landed the punch on the same side he raked Stipes eye. Let's not act like he won a fair fight. Imagine if someone like Covington or Vick did this everyone would lose their shit.
 
Its a legit tactic Stipe is an idiot for not fouling first, stoopid choirboi
 
I have a theory, I know it sounds crazy , but Marc-Goddard had a major beef with Conor McGregor for years, which is why he would be totally interested in DC winning. I mean, think about it. Conor's greatest accomplishment is/was simultaneous betls, but DC's win kinda overshadows what the Notorious did
