Stipe blames DC loss on "Eye Poke"

[seanb1979]

Until an eye poke results is a straight DQ or round loss, they will be an effective aspect of striking.

Not liking how Stipe isn't accepting this loss whatsoever, blames the eye poke, and says he did everything right, "and just missed it."

All that being said, I like Stipe and think it's possible for him to win this fight, but he has to learn from the last fight, DC's clinch work is all time great.

Also the eye poke was pretty fucked up lol

You mean the eye pokes were pretty fucked up...

I wonder if he plans on dropping his hands as he disengages from a cormier grapple attempt again

The tape doesn’t lie

DC is the scum of the earth and intentionally cheated his way to that win

It's underhanded, but until they're punished harshly, it's hard to really fault people for using them. If you could make a million bucks from an eye poke, you would too

 

[campbecc]

he's not wrong the eye poke did set up the KO punch. It honestly looked intentional but I give DC the benefit of the doubt because he has no history of fighting dirty in the past. And I believe if he were going to intentionally poke someone it would have been Jones; they were at least as big of fights and he genuinely dislikes Jones (plus no one would care due to Jones history of eye pokes)

People criticizing the eye-pokes need to get with the program on here. Only Jones wins via eye-poke. <rollingeyes.gif>

Sorry you're showed you're not
Books are nothing,anyone can do that unlike actually understand other people winch so far you showed you can't.

Silly

Got badly poked directly in the eye to the point it displaced his head less than three seconds before the KO. Nobody even saw it.

But yeah, they were not significant. It was a part of his game plan, dude.

No one who got their eyes poked as hard as you're describing would continuing fighting. That's not how things work. You're just too salty that a well fed MW knocked him the fuck out. He dropped him like a sack of potatoes. If you're a guy as big as Stipe and get KTFO by a guy coming from the division above you really have nothing to complain about. You had everything in your favour and still couldn't get the job done.

 

[Bluntforce420]

Eye pokes only matter when ur jones

If ur a nice guy and family man like dc u can cheat at the weigh ins and eye poke all u want

Poor jon Jones, how has he overcome all those point deductions and disqualifications from his eye pokes ?

Oh wait, Jones has never been penalized for his repeated eye poking

Cormier is a heavyweight who can make LHW

you calling him a MW is hilarious, he couldn’t physically make it

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Ref should deduct points for eye poking but you need to work that out as a fighter as well. Request a timeout , period. Show the ref that you are hurt...

Eye poking happens, its a damn fight after all... and BOTH did it.

At the end of the day what i got from the fight is that Stipe wasnt able to hurt or drop DC with his punches but Dc was able to do so. That’s what a fight is all about. Take your L and focus on your upcoming fight m instead of making excuses for a fight that you loss and its long gone.

 

[Communion]

He lost to black Fedor, no shame in that.

 

[p4pfighters]

this fight is proof that you are actually allowed to cheat and you will not get points deducted, just "warnings".

Quit the BS. Daniel has competed at 184. He is just fat. Even at LHW he is overweight. In fact, even in the night of weigh ins he still carries a considerable amount of fat compared to other fighters:

Does this look like a guy who couldn't lose any more weight? Give me a fucking break. The dude isn't even lean at 205. You really need to get your eyes checked if you think that dude is a natural HW. Plus, he is considerably shorter than almost everyone he faces. Short and fat. Put the guy on a proper diet and he could easily be a MW. Not only he could be a MW, bue he wouldn't even be a big MW. There are guys at MW who could fight at LHW and still look lean.

height doesnt equal weight class

he was not physically well on the scale at 205. his face is sunken in. he was ill. not everybody is the same.

I'm talking about WEIGHT. His height is just another factor, not THE factor. With his height, the only way someone can weight 240-250 pounds is by being either overweight or a mountain of muscles. In this case, he is muscular, but he is also very overweight. As a HW he is straight up fat. Being fat isn't the ideal physical form for anyone. Look at Stipe. At 240 or whatever he weighs in, he is lean. Looks like a proper athlete. You know why? Because that's a natural big guy. That's a natural HW. That's a human being who was born with the height and the frame to support 240 pounds. By your logic, anyone is a true HW as long as they get fat, right? A WW can easily make HW if he becomes obese.

Not looking well has nothing to do with whether or not he is a true HW. It has to do with the methods he is using to lose weight. He clearly has quite a bit of fat stored, and that fat can be lost through the proper means. To say he is a real HW is just as silly as to tell an obese person that whatever weight they have, is their natural weight, since losing weight is hard for them. Look at how bad they looked when they tried to lose X amount of water in 1 day or 2. They must be real HW's. Orrrrr, orrrrrrrrrr, they're just unhealthy and they don't take care of themselves. Just like DC doesn't care enough to do a proper diet and change his lifestyle in order to be lighter.

Like i said: He can make 184. He has done that, and he actually looked great. The difference? He had a lot less fat. But he never really looked super skinny.

The only reason why people refuse to admit that he is naturally small enough to be a normal looking MW if he really wanted to is because that would give him wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much fucking credit. A guy that used to fight at 184 destroying real HW's like it was nothing? That's amazing. That's more impressive than anything anyone else is doing in the UFC. That's more impressive than beating guys your size and smaller. That's the true Karate dream. The smaller kid who beats the fuck out of big men. That's the pinnacle of martial arts.
