Leo should have cut his hair. Or put on a balaclava or something. As for Blood Axe vs Orsu Corsu, again: Blood Axe had to successfully take Corsu down and control him on the ground, before he could finish the fight by eye gouging. He said he was going to do just that by the way at the weigh in face off. That guy fought in Bellator at one point and grew up wrestling so he's not just some brawler.
I remember seeing Leo with his hair open just before the fight started, thinking this is a bad idea.
IMO Oak started pulling Leo's shirt and hair out of desperation, as Leo is tough as hell which makes it OK in some twisted way.
Though what I believe I've observed is that people like Blood Axe, whose gameplan is to go straight for eye pokes, raised the level of violence in KOTS even further.
As many others have said, these are grown men who consent to compete like this so we forfeit the right to complain about what we deem unfair or dirty. Fights like those serve as a reminder that no rules means literally no rules.
That being said, on a spectrum of violence those two fights felt more like liveleak than UFC. I can't stomach seeing a man scream in terror as his opponent rips off his scalp so I've quit watching / supporting.
