Is that from having his eyes raked or is that from those elbows he was eating from the bottom?

He's got competition. Gerard Gordeau, Yvel, Dirty Bob, I think Mike Kyle. Gordeau is the only person to have permanently blinded somebody in a fight.
My thoughts on this debacle:
1. The sub was NOT held to long..... a thread in proper (read non UFC) forums covers this, Palhares lets go barely 1second after the ref steps in. It's the ref's job to stop the fight, blame the ref for shields getting 5 taps off. People just get really uppity on Palhares because of his history.... and this isn't the first time people have falsely accused him of holding a sub too long in his passed few fights.. (even if he has held other fight ending subs to long)....
2. The eye pokes, I'll reserve judgement on Palhares until I see video evidence of fingers in eyes... If he's guilty, then by all means punish/suspend/strip him.... People are getting away with too much of that crap anyhow..... Jones was one of the worst offenders, while he was active.... As far as Shields complaining about it? Well, I seem to recall Shields getting away with eye gouging the hell out of GSP.... Karma is a bitch, and I have little to no sympathy for him.
Thus far, there have been -ZERO- gifs provided of Palhares' fingers in the eyes.
3. The punch after the fight, Shields should immediately be suspended for at least 1 year. This was the single most egregious foul committed last night.
4. The brawl in the crowd. Every fighter involved should be immediately suspended for at least 1 year by the athletic commission in charge (which is then usually held up by all the other commissions).... Since the Diaz brothers have now done this shit TWICE, double it for them. It's a professional sport, not a backyard smoker.
I remember hearing Gordeau was dirty, but who did he permanently blind?
