PBP UFC 300 - Pereira vs. Hill Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat. 4 / 13 at 10pm ET / 7pm PT

[Koala]

Gaethje is not enough nasty today

 

[Reason]

Halfway through the fight and the only 2 damaging strikes were both eye pokes.

 

[Small Town Andrew]

This fight has been kinda disappointing. Holloway has just been kicking his ass while committing fouls.

 

[don't ask]

Max 100% finger banging Justin’s eye sockets.

 

[Afrikan]

You are allowed 3 eye pokes, two illegal kicks and a nut shot per fight.

You joke.. but I used to take advantage of that in the old Fight Night Boxing games.. low blow a match to get an advantage.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

justin is not fighting smart

If I ever get to an UFC event I will hold up a "Fix the Gloves" Sign.

"Use PRIDE gloves". Which PFL and many other orgs do and/or have done.

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

I knew the leg kicks would be the biggest problem for Max. he can't take many more of those

They should have trained him to have more legs

 

[FightsFTW]

Max doing great minus the eye pokes. He wins this fight if Gaethje cant find a big shot.

 

[italiamusica]

I'm a little surprised a point wasn't taken from Max, the deductions seem so random from ref to ref.

 

[DrRodentia]

Unusually tentative

Of all the guys he has fought, Max wasn't one I would have thought he'd be wary of the power of.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Someone should sue the UFC for not changing the gloves to the pride gloves or introducing automatic point deductions for eye pokes. Something has to give, it's been more than a decade where the solution for eye pokes is right there and they just choose to leave it as is...

 

[contrail]

All we need is a nutshot and I have foul bingo

 

[milliniar]

Covered up ?

They don't really still have it like Gaethje if it is covered.

 

[BIKES!]

Max is the bigger LW crazy

 

[Mazdarati]

"A different look in Gaethjes eyes now". Yeah I bet.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Didn't they mention something about new gloves? It's getting really detrimental to how fights go.
Should be AUTOMATIC point deduction, IMO. Warnings only serve to incentivise fighters to doing it knowing they'll only get a warning the first two times they do it.

They won’t be implemented until after UFC 300 and they don’t do much “by appearance” for pokes

 

[ryun253]

justin is not fighting smart

He's striking is just really limited to this

 

[Paladin]

Max's body work always goes underappreciated by commentary

He works the body really well. The spinning kick to the liver is damaging!

 

[koquerelle]

UFC where you get two free eyepokes

and you can grab the cage
and throw a few low blows
etc...
