If you were supposed to keep your fingers in a fist then MMA fights would use boxing gloves, legit the worst take i've ever read on sherdogAlthough I was not thrilled that the dude opted out, Battle legit thumb-kabbobbed his eye, so he needs to calm his ass down with all the spazzing out after the fact.
Keep your friggin fingers in a fist, and don't "paw" out, and no such events occur.
Depends a bit on the situation of course, a lot of eye pokes I think thats a legit criticism as people are throwing pure strikes(and more fighters should be DQed for it IMHO) but this seemed like it was Battle trying to push his opponent off of him.If you were supposed to keep your fingers in a fist then MMA fights would use boxing gloves, legit the worst take i've ever read on sherdog
Don't push away a guys face with an open hand. Regardless of whether Loosa could see or not, he took a pretty nasty finger/thumb in the eye. That's Battle's fault in the end. I hate when guy's talk shit after a fight ends on a foul they committed.

Battle was 100% correct though. Guy was definitely looking for a way out. Plenty of times guys with much worse eye pokes went on to win fights or be mostly unaffected. Ref fucking sucks. Was handled so fucking poorly. Should have told and given him his 5 minutes before trying to work out what was going to happen. Lisa was hamming it up with whining noises and body language big time though. Then the posturing once in a safe space was comical. Still on battle for the poke but it was a push off a clinch and he had just taken a headbutt
Bad night for him, he's usually decent. But the 5 minutes woulda done nothing. Zilch. He wanted out no matter what. His eye was wide open and everything lolillolWhole thing is the refs fault
Didn’t give him his 5 minutes before asking if he could see - so stupid
Same idiot that told Amorim to stop on her submission , then said continue , then made her submit her twice
Commission needs to fire that goof

Yeah, the manner in which the rules are changed is very slow and not how we need it to be, very frustrating.there was a headbutt then an eye poke so mitigating incidents. The 5 minute rule needs flexibility, how about reschedule option later in the card. Take a break , if can recover, do it after a fight or several. If not then NC. Oh well not a pivotal fight for division .
I mean it wasn't a Jones outstretched fingers foul. He was going for a clinch, palms slightly up. Guy wanted out, pretty obvious. But what can you do u guess. It only makes the sport worseBattle shouldn't foul the guy and then act like a douche.. Ref waived the fight without giving him time.
Simple solution.. Rebook the fight and see what happens.
