Yeah I tend to agree. You can let one go but two you have to take a point.

Especially like that. I get using the hands and palms to range guys but you're going to eye poke someone if you're palming their face like that

It's accidental but also jesus christ just close your hands

Gaethje realises he needs to throw more than one kick every 2.5 minutes if he's going to win this right?

Gaethje was super inactive from the very start of this fight and it was baffling to see, and now he has half an eye and no nose, so I don't know exactly how he gets more active.

You have to be more efficient than that to be a successful fighter. Conor McGregor just goes straight to your second sentence.

I'd be dead if I got punched by Max but yea if I had a broken nose and two eye pokes I'd just straight walk right outta that cage.

This reminded me of the edit of the guy getting punched so hard that his ghost walks out of the cage, goes to the airport (wheeling luggage behind them) and gets on a plane to go home :allears:

Yeah this is a hell of an effort from a guy who doesn't seem like he's had a chance since he took so much damage in the first round.

And hell, he just got a knockdown.

it's a joke about how the new gloves have blockchain poo poo in them but don't address the tendency of them to encourage accidental eye pokes. I know they wont' be used until 302

There's a new glove design they announced like 2 days ago, which is confusing everyone because it is debuting at UFC 302, not tonight.
