Why aren't black eyes more common in MMA?

[AWKWARD]

I really have no clue ... but I like it

It's pretty hilarious.

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.View attachment 123279

Female fighters sometimes post photos of their black eyes, and then comment how people act toward them like they are victims of abuse, or people give looks at their male partners as if they are abusers.

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.

Plus, your user name is wrong.

Most people here are dismissing your question, but I see what you mean. It's like, you'd expect there to be almost a 90% black eye rate after a fight, and it doesn't seem to be the case.

That's why they wear gloves...

Man I remember when that egg fell into mitione eye.

Good thing he was able to get it out

 

[Tuf_guy]

I see you missed the franklin era

That actually explains why black eyes aren't as common. Franklin would single handedly normalize them.
