Stipe talking about KNUCKLE DEEP EYEPOKE

[puppybird]

TBH there are eyepokes in practically every match now. they have to sort it before someone is blinded (other than bisping, but that was from a spinning tornado kick from bitor belforchy)

He's gone from a gracious loser to salty as fuck in 1 week. Must be channeling his inner Rockhold.

Oh fuck you. Stipe got poked bad in this fight he could have lost vision. He has a right to be a little upset especially after DC ignored the refs warnings to stop extending his fingers.

[FrontNakedChoke]

there weren't as many eyepokes in pride due to the more curved gloves they used-

They just look cooler too.

Like Sub Zero would wear them.

I think he was willing to take the loss and move on, but that was when he thought he would get a rematch. Since the rematch is in limbo and (imo) probably won't happen, he's coming out about things that probably bothered him/trying to get under Cormier's skin to get him to fight him again.

 

[Ramon Antonio]

If you get eye-poked 'knuckles deep' by a guy 13 cm shorter, and a 19 cm shorter reach, you deserve it.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Lol I saw Stipe attempt to gouge out DC's right eye with his left thumb.

 

[vadrigar]

"knuckle deep eyepoke" LOL that is known as a PUNCH/FIST to the eye, I think Stipe has lost brain cells since the knockout.

Can someone who speaks Stipe translate what was said on the video?

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Stipe 100% poked DC as well and DC still knocked him out

It was a well known idea that Brock was fighting the winner. Stipe is just salty because he thought he was going to walk through DC.

Fighters need to realize that eye pokes are semi-legal under the current rules.

Yep and groin shots.

In fact, all fighters should walk to the center of the octagon, poke each other in the eye and kick each other in the nuts.

Groins shots have not hurt combat SAMBO that much.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Oh nice i didnt know that,ufc should do the same 100%

Ain't happening. Bellator has adopted a similar glove and offered the UFC to replicate it for free because it reduced eye pokes and hand breaks (they did statistics after the implementation) and the UFC never responded to their offer.

Where did I mention Brock Lesnar?

 

[Topguntrophey]

Knuckle deep *giggle*

 

[Boonedoggle]

Looks like a punch in the screen shot.

Did you look at the angle of his hand? If he punched him like that he would break his wrist.

 

[OlderMan]

I'm surprised eye pokes aren't even more prevalent in the UFC. Considering you get away with it 100% of the time...

FACT.......... and most lead to Win Bonuses and fotn bonuses...........TRAGIC
