So? what is the point of complaining about it? It's just making Stipe look bad.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.
UFC is dropping the ball. In 2013 they said they were looking into new gloves to prevent eyepokes.....nothing. At UFC 219, a full 4 years later, they experiment with AI sensors in the gloves but still haven't addressed the design for eye pokes. They need to learn to prioritize. It's especially bad with the offer from bellator to help protect fighters and they just ignore it.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.

He's gone from a gracious loser to salty as fuck in 1 week. Must be channeling his inner Rockhold.
Yeah if you're strictly out to win should plan on throwing at least 1, maybe 2 pokes out there. Free damage that can last for the whole fight. Which is quite sad to ponder.I'm surprised eye pokes aren't even more prevalent in the UFC. Considering you get away with it 100% of the time...
Either you didn't watch the fight then, or you are in denial of actual reality.. either way, it happened, end of story.NOPE.
I havent seen a croatian get fingered like that since 'a serbian film'

Stipe eye poked DC too though..
Yupnope
An opinion on a topic is one thing, but missing facts and stating opinion as fact, is simply blind.. Reality and opinion are two vastly different things. No need to be a "nuthugger" to see what those with an unbiased mindset, clearly see.I am not a Stipe nuthugger, nor have I defended him yet, it that Stile poked DC thing is nonsense.. I've watched the gif back a whole bunch and DC never actually gets poked at all.. his brow area gets stroked, there's no actual poke where anything touches his eye.
Did you watch the eyepoke? People keep repeating this, but the gif shows stripes hand gliding across Cormier face, no sign of any finger or part of hand actually going into Cormier eye, only over the top of his brow eye socket region.

there weren't as many eyepokes in pride due to the more curved gloves they used-
Yeah no fighter should ever complain about anything ever.So? what is the point of complaining about it? It's just making Stipe look bad.
oh and, fuck you too Gabe
