When will glove grabbing be punished?

Usman grabbed Maia's glove for like a minute straight. Ref kept warning him and did nothing.

When will any rule ever be enforced in MMA?

You can basically break every rule without any consequences

in that sense it truly is still NHB

You've got guys like Jones eye poking 4 times minimum per fight and never having a point deducted

Everybody grabs the cage to stop takedowns.. or grabs gloves

how many times does a ref have to yell a warning before its not just a warning?

Usman grabbed Maia's gloves all night, grabbed the fence, and stuck his fingers in Maia's eyes and mouth

and not a word from jimmy smith

say what you want about rogan's commentary but he calls that shit out right away

We just need a few shows where they penalise everything and suddenly it will stop happening.

-fence grab, point off
-low blow, point off
-eyepokes, point off

Basically any rule infringement however "accidental" gets a point off. But at the moment it's just warning after warning.

Cage grabbing should be allows, it is a cage fight after all.

Let's go one further: if one fighter grabs the cage, the other gets to poke them in the eyes.

That is fucking GENIUS.

Refs are too afraid of Dana white /fans shit talking them to try and enforce anything

I'd have to see it again but i don't think he was doing anything illegal. You aren't allowed to grab inside the glove like this:



but you can hand fight.
