Well the ref is an idiot. I knew right away that it was an eye poke, and I’m not the one being paid to ref.

It doesn’t matter that it was accidental. He was already warned. Fighters get DQ’d for multiple infractions like headbutting, strikes to the groin or to the back of the head, whether or not it’s intentional. An eye poke is no different.

Chuck has been fighting watered down opponents for years, and Rashad is no different! Only real wins chuck has are 2 wins over Couture, a win over Vitor and a win over Wanderlei.

ALL I HEAR FROM VERA IS EXCUSES. HIS FIGHT AGAINST WERDUM, IM GLAD HE DIDNT WIN. AND NOW THIS DISAPPOINTMENT… PLEASE! STOP WITH THE EXCUSES AND BE THE EXCITING FIGHT THAT WE ONCE KNEW. HE SHOULD HAVE KICKED ANDYS HEAD OFF!!

ABOUT TIME THAT SILVA IS MAKING 200K.. HE DESERVES THAT AT LEAST. VERA = OVERPAID! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID 100K MAX, BASED ON HIS PERFORMANCE.. $50K.

from the refs point of view at the time it looked like the upper cut dropped him, that was my first thought watching the fight. ufc doesn’t use replay like the nfl, doesn’t over turn the decision the ref made to stop the fight because of the replay.. get over it! may not have been the right decision but they dont use the replay to over turn calls so drop it
