Jack Slack said on his podcast this morning that Don'tale Mayes is out of his fight but I can't find that anywhere else. Has anyone heard about this?

Gramps posted:how are we still dealing with eyepokes because of the UFC's lovely glove design what the gently caress I think some of the blame is on the gloves, but they aren't solely responsible for the eyepokes. Every fighter isn't out there poking people in the eyes. The vast majority have no problem keeping their hands in fists when punching or parrying. Fighters that extend their fingers for distance, though, frequently cause eyepokes. See e.g. Jon Jones. Jones doesn't rake people's eyes because of the gloves. It's a part of his fighting style, and no one does anything to punish him for it.

Yeah The legend of Cup Cheick Kongo was allowed to build because he was careless in the clinch and it never really hurt him consistently in fights, so there was no need to change his behavior

Of course the gloves aren’t ideal, but I 100% guarantee that if every foul is a point deduction or otherwise some sort of penalty then they’d become much more rare.

On one hand, I don't think that intent should be part of the decision to penalize a penalty. On the other, I think that some grace should be given to situations like an inside leg kick sliding into the cup as the target moves. I would lean more into taking a point any time a fight has to be paused to stem bad behavior to start, though.

Why do fighters even get warnings for poo poo that could very drastically change the outcome of a fight that are definitely against the rules? Other than minor stuff like the post above which I agree with, these are professionals and the onus is on them to know the rules. I strongly agree with a post earlier that said if eyepokes were automatic point deductions, you bet your rear end they'd stop happening as much. Tho I think I'm still just salty about the holly holm germaine de randamie fight were the piece of poo poo fighter gets not one, but two warnings for striking well after the bell

I strongly agree with a post earlier that said if eyepokes were automatic point deductions, you bet your rear end they'd stop happening as much. The loving thing is that they did revise the rules w/r/t eye pokes a few years ago. It's actually within a ref's power to deduct a point just for extending fingers towards the face. When that came in everyone including the refs was like "gently caress yeah about time let's do this" and nothing has changed.

late replacement time. Harry Hunsucker is a 7-2 American, former Hard Rock MMA (?) Heavyweight Champion who lost on Contender Series to Jared Vanderaa in November 2020, and to Don'Tale Mayes in 2016. Still truly trashweight. Probably going to be highlight worthy.

Attend the lawsuit court sessions, write about the judges verdicts, analyze fighter contracts, analyze fighter pay. These aren't the famous talking heads on popular podcasts.

So I have been thinking about this for awhile, but to reduce/eliminate eye pokes, if any fighter gets eye poked, the ref will have up to 5 minutes to go to a replay review. If the fighter was actually eye poked, the other fighter loses a point. No loving warnings. If there was no eye poke (faking) the fighter that claims he was poked loses a point. Because every fighter gets 5 min to recover, the 5 min for replay is already accounted for (correct me if this only applies to groin kicks). After it happens in 1-2 fights, I’m pretty sure eye pokes will become rare, unless fighters like losing points quickly. Yes it’s harsh, but if you want to eliminate it, you have to be. Yes I know refs already have the ability to take a point, but it’s so lax, and varied between refs, that it’s pretty much useless. The only issues with the plan I can think of is if the replay is inconclusive, but I’m struggling to remember more than 2 (if any) eye pokes that weren’t obvious. Also the replay system would have to be fast. So maybe a ref/athletic judge in the back with quick access to the replay could make the call. Would this work if implemented? Am I out to lunch? Edit: VVV thank you. I didn't think of that. fair point. VVV Kragger99 fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Mar 19, 2021 |

So to the shock of no one but Dana I bet https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/1372757125177303045?s=20 But it's UFC so they probably do Dustin vs Conor 3 for the title.
