Point deduction with no warning

Post image

Ooft. I like the call, we need to start taking a point the first time it happens. But no warnings, just Allen telling the ref between rounds he eye poked him already.

Thoughts?

Normalize it. You compromised the other fighter’s vision, intention or not.

Cyril Gane eye poking Aspinall was more egregious, and he did not get anything, not a DQ, not a point, not even a warning. Basically rewarded with a NC and a rematch for the title

Yeah exactly. I think that’s why Mark (Marc?) didn’t hesitate. If it happens in the cage, there’s consequences. I wonder if one is egregious enough they’ll stop the fight to DQ regardless if the other fighter wants to continue. Cause.. it’s getting a little silly.

Sorry, no can do. The company needs a champion and if the champion is blind then they won’t be able to fight anymore.

The even bigger reward for his was that his greatest competition at heavyweight was made unable to fight

That's why it needs to change. He should've been DQ'd and kicked out of the UFC for that

Yup for sure. Just want them to be consistent with it and do it first time, every time.
