[TGArthur]

What are the statistics on eye pokes?

take the 18 cards before Islam vs Dustin and start crunching the #'s son.

What were the numbers before the new gloves?

I saw a really great comparison / breakdown the other day... let me see if I saved it...




Swipe / slide pic to the side for the stats.

Pretty shocking.

Here we go again...

 

[Emjay]

Do they wear gloves on their shins, feet, knees and elbows too?

 

[Harlekin]

Dustin and others said you can grab better and close the fist.
So do we have more decision because of a different padding. Or do we have more decision because you can grapple better?

The new design gave me the impression to make it even easier.

 

[The Blue Bird]

Interdasting I was wondering the difference between the diddle and non diddle finger gloves

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Do they wear gloves on their shins, feet, knees and elbows too?

With all of these left out

tko - doctor stoppages
tko - retirement
tko - elbow
tko - knee

We end up with 33 KO/TKO that include punches so if it said "tko by elbows and punches" I left it in or "headkick and punches" I left it in because it was ultimately punches that ended the fight. I mean we can dwindle the list down even further and make it even worse yet if we just go straight punches. I mean we just went from 47 down to 33 real quick. ha ha

It’s gotta be the latter IMO.

It makes the most sense.

I mentioned this in another thread, but PFL lacks the savagery of the UFC. As someone pointed out to me, there are no elbows in PFL (fucking stupid idea on their part).

Now I’m also starting to wonder if they have a different glove design as well.

 

[kingofthecans]

All those decisions means they'll take more brain damage and less pay. Totally worth the investment.

 

[BullyKutta]

The new design gave me the impression to make it even easier.

Every fighter should go to an immediate eye poke when the bell rings.

No touch of gloves.
No feeling out process.

They should get the eye gouge in as early as possible. Every fighter is entitled to at least one, and in the cases of bad reffing, sometimes two or three.

The baseline is one, though. That one’s on the house, courtesy of the UFC.

If you’re not trying to drive your thumb through your opponent’s skull, you’re not a UFC fighter.

Its mad to think the finish rates have gotten even fucking worse now. They had already been low for years. Pretty sure up until maybe a bit over a decade ago the majority of fights still ended in finishes.

Its a shame across the board whats happened to MMA. Almost all of the bragging rights it had over boxing (lack of oversaturation, manageable number of divisions and cards, not tons of manlets, high finish rate, fun production etc) are long gone now.
