Garbage fight and garbage refereeing. I had 0.00 dollars on this fight. The eye gouges were so egregious it was embarrassing for MMA. Now, DC gets a huge payday with Brock. Where is the rematch with Stipe? Guy defends the HW title 3x and doesn't even get a shot to get it back? Lame.

Why should he? He got starched. Is 3 title defenses worthy of an immediate rematch? I'd say no, agree to disagree.

Ignore the other BS in this video and look at 4:10, 4:28, and 5:02. There were other instances in the fight but look at these three.

In 4:10 you can see DC's thumb is out and it's hard to make out but his fingers are extended. If a trained MMA fighter's fist is closed there is no way their thumb is out like that.

Then at 4:28 at distance, without Stipe coming in DC just threw an eye poke punch

At 5:02 it shows kind of a bad angle of the eye poke before the clinch and right hook that knocked Stipe down. There is a better view of it in post #22

I know why DC was doing it, it extends his reach and completely takes an opponent out of their game, but it was dirty AF

regardless eye poke or not. let say 1 point deduction, he didn't win by decision, so the outcome wouldve been the same.

If it was a close fight, I'd agree but not a 1st round KO.

When you have to worry about eye strikes and deal with eye strikes there is no way to accurately predict what would have happened in a fair fight

As soon as there is an HD video of the fight I will post some of those eye pokes

Pretty shocking how blatant and dirty they were

DC how did you break a finger?

Daniel Cormier did the knocking out at UFC 226, but he paid a small price for it. During an appearance today on MMAjunkie Radio, dual UFC champion Cormier said he needs eight to 10 weeks to heal a diagnosed broken finger. Cormier (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) said he…

dude, really? the eyeballs wouldve been out of the socket for a finger to break. Stipe did not show any discomfort from the poke, he lost fair n square.

How did Stipe get all those scratches around his eyes?

I don't remember ever seeing someone's face that scratched and clawed up after a fight

If someone has a link to HD version of the fight please post it

Gotta give Stipe credit, he came to fight and was trying to win and finish the fight.. Can't say the same with Black Beast and Francis Ngannou...

I still cant get over how bad both Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou fought not to lose.. I'd cut them both from the UFC... Send them packing.. Fans don't pay to see two big black dudes just stand and look at each other for 3 rounds and not throw down..

can't believe ngannou's last fight was a title fight. well, now dana is bump him down to prelim for sure. paulo costa really shouldve been on the main card. the dude is a real beast, will bang with anyone. the best part is he always comes out guns blazing and aim for 1st round ko.

Costa gonna get popped for juice eventually

Blatantly obvious
