We have to get rid of teh subjective element of it--lets do away with "discretion to take a point", or "may decide" to take a point, and make it automatic.
if you eye poke while having fingers pointed out, automatic point.
if fighter is going for take down or working position and opponent grabs fence, automatic point
if fighter is down and opponent hits knee to head (if was downed when strike began--dont want fighters flopping to ground when they see knee coming), automatic point.
i dont hink cub is a dirty fighter, and i never have, but the rules have to be adhered and we need consistency in rules.
how many times has jones tried to poke his opponent in teh eyes or has he pawed at his foe with fingers out and i dont recall big john ever EVAR taking a point.
fuck that, and fuck refs having favourite fighters--automatic enforcement of rules.
