PBP UFC Fight Night 253 - Kape vs. Almabayev Official PBP Discussion: Sat 3/1 at 4:30pm ET

[Corona]

"whose next to get eye poked"

"be ready to get scraped in the eye"

 

[tritestill]

Kape needs focus and make weight more often, guy can be champ

Is that the worst running i’ve seen in the octogon?

Did you not watch Kalib Starnes?

 

[BluMax]

The UFC welcomes you and your extended fingers to poke your opponent's eyes all you like. Nobody gives a fuck, just do it.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Kape is not winning me over as a fan during his speech.

 

[Elvis.]

The moral of the story is that in a self defence situation, rake the eyes , early and often, the 3 stooges must have been bad motherfuckers in their day

 

[KDR by RNC]

Just Bleed Gods doing some funky stuff before blessing us next weekend

 

[contrail]

She should have poked him in the eye

 

[Axe720]

Terrible reffing in the main and co-main

 

[dominion]

Kape asking for a title fight after that lmao. Way to lose any fans you had.

what are you talking about, he's clearly the best challenger

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Manel "Cornea raker" Kape FTW

 

[helax]

Don’t forget the tank card, folks.

 

[Soggust]

Did he say he steals candy from his daughter?

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

The eyepokes sucked, but I honestly think that Kape was going to eventually stop the fight regardless…

Kape was just on another level.

 

[gentel]

Kape is not winning me over as a fan during his speech.

Better than some of his other speeches, if you know what I mean

 

[Danespina]

So the ref was right to stop the fight the first time, but the review said it wasn't a poke.

Yes it should be clear that the ref DID stop the fight for that eyepoke. It was the review officials, who had instant replay, that said the punch was legal.

 

[FightFan87]

The refs are something else tonight.

Mouthpieces and eye pokes.

Anyone catch the "punch" kape threw after the scrape... straight fingers. Not even exaggerating.

Eye scrape followed by eye poke left right

Sure did

 

[CasualBot]

Manel "the eyepoker" Kape

 

[contrail]

who's next? who's next? who wants eye pokes?

He did the same thing last night except he was yelling it at Dana who basically instructed him to calm down

 

[usernamee]

The ref will give them a "hard warning," whatever the fuck that is...

It's what's given before the really stern warning.

Star boy is a pretty gay name.
