NO MORE EYE POKES. 👏👀 Veteran MMA referee Marc Goddard is showing how UFC eye pokes should be handled. During the fight between CLD and Allen, Goddard deducted a point after an eye poke without issuing a second warning. He had already warned CLD at the start of the round about keeping his fingers dangerously close to Allen’s eyes. Eye pokes can change the outcome of a fight, compromise fighter safety, and unfairly impact the opponent. Consistent officiating and meaningful consequences are essential to protecting fighters inside the Octagon. Marc Goddard sent a clear message: keep your fingers out of your opponent’s eyes. 👏🔥 Should more UFC referees take this approach to eye pokes? #MarcGoddard #UFCRules #UFC #MMA #CombatSports
