Point deductions are needed asap for any eye pokes.

[filthynumber1]

Watching randy brown on saturday win 29-28 after eye poking his opponent multiple times with no point deductions in a close fight.
It's time to stop fucking warning these fighters over n over n over with no real punishment.
Just auto deduct points already and maybe guys with stop pawing at there opponents
It's a joke these warnings mean absolutely fuck all

I remember and old fight where Costa nutted Uriah hall and eye poked him twice. Received nothing but some stern warnings. And hall ended up getting tkod

It's time to stop fucking around and deduct pounts for any and all eye pokes

Biggest hack in MMA is you literally get 2 free illegal strikes before a point deduction. Of course some fighters are too honorable to do it but I think more fighters should take advantage of this.

Why not just explain to the fighters from here on out. Any, and I mean ANY eye poke is automatic point deduction

The end
I just solved the eye poke epidemic

I've been saying this for awhile. in most cases, eye pokes happen when the fighter has his fingers outstretched towards the opponent, which is a foul in itself. there should be no such thing as "accidental" eye poke, when the fighter is already breaking the rules. kinda like killing someone while driving drunk.

Deduct a half point for every single foul, every single time, NO warnings.

1 cup shot + 1 Eyepoke = 1 point lost.

no more of this 1 free eyepoke, Cage grab and Cup shot nonsense.

 

[thewhiterooster]

nah. shouldn't be penalized for eye pokes. accidents happen to the best of them. would be ashamed to lose a fight because of an accidental poke. it's just part of the game

 

[Neck&Neck]

3 pokes in one fight and the fighter should be DQ

 

[Race Freelie]

Point deduction vs. foul incurred. I bet the ratio is less than 5%. Cage grabs, groin shots, eye pokes, grounded opponent, back of the head, none of it seems to matter.
Fighters seem to get get two freebies of each so you get a fighter that had 5, maybe 7 infractions and wins on points.
The whole system is a joke. Just look at the scoring discrepancy we see in so many fights. However, this broken system will buy a driveway full of snow

I didn't catch that bout, but Brown also eye poked Salikhov right before he clipped him as well
Something definitely needs to change with the fouls, and so far it looks like the new gloves did fuck all for that lol

 

[Bork Neslar]

Yes.

"Would be ashamed to lose a fight because of breaking the rules. But hey, it's just part of the game."

Fixed that for yinz

 

[CasualBot]

built a career on poking eyes

 

[Goatenstein]

You can tell Brown didn't care at all and probably leaves his hands open on purpose to get in an "accidental" eye gouge or two before points are taken.

Let me get this straight... it would be a shame for a fighter to lose a fight because they poked someone in the eye, but not a shame for a fighter to lose a fight because they got poked in the eye?

It's only "part of the game" to POS fighters.

Pico used eye pokes time after time, bragged & laughed knowing Herb would Never risk Dana's wrath by enforcing ANY rule against Jon.

 

[aunshi189]

Guys need to just start working on their eye defense. Get those eyelids buff

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

They get warned in the dressing room , no point warning them again.

 

[humdizzle]

yeah they need to do this for fence grabs too

instant point deduction. if you wanna debate the ref you challenge it with a replay, but you lose 2 points if you're wrong.

Fixed that for you

A cup shot is far easier to accidentally land than an eyepoke. 90% of eyepokes are intentional or caused by intentionally outstretched fingers. But if you're kicking someones thigh it's fairly easy to land on the cup accidentally, especially if they are moving. Those two fouls are not the same.
