Why aren't black eyes more common in MMA?

[tdko]

Did you need the metal rod treatment to straighten the nose?

Yepp. Hands down the most uncomfortable thing Ive ever experienced.

I see you missed the franklin era

You guys sure rich wasn't in an abusive relationship

You know that's fake right?

EDIT: That's Jon Fitch's left eye.

They usually wear glasses or makeup to cover them but like most said.

The latest science and medicine have provided what is called "purple pillow" therapy.

When used the day after an eye contusion, the black eye is rendered almost invisible.

Despite getting kicked and punched in the face for a living, its been a long while since I've seen a fighter with a proper shiner. It's usually just cuts, swelling and the occasional bruise around the face but hardly ever a black eye. I wonder why they're so uncommon in MMA, but people seems to always walk away with one of them in street fights.

Still a good looking guy.

Oddly enough I'm wearing his "American Fighter" walkout shirt right this very minute.

We're not

You're not serious are you? EVERY fighter gets black eyes we just don't see it. This is an mma forum how can people not know how black eyes work? They don't instantly appear like in cartoons.

Pfft.

Next you're gonna tell us this isn't how hematomas and busted mouths work...

Rich is an ace, and i hear his juice is delicious!

[Red Triangle]

The accuracy is higher for the smaller gloves, and most fighters aim for the chin. I think aiming for the nose and the eyes is better often, however, because some people have granite chin/skulls.

 

[th Fireball Kid]

Because most punches are aimed at the chin?

 

[TGArthur]

I think we'd rather see this:

Should I feel bad getting turned on seeing a beaten up woman?

[AWKWARD]

I'm really curious what the story is here.
