    lets think of it this way, if cro cop accidently smashed al turk in the nuts, would they have paused the fight for al turk to recover? absolutely. and if he couldn't would they deem it as a no contest? absolutely. so why don't they do the same with eye pokes. the shits pretty damn serious. someone just touches your eye, it begins to burn like hell, and starts to tear up. this was more like an eye stab. look at his eyes.

    Same thing happened to Rumble Johnson, seems that the UFC doesnt have rules concerning eye pokes. Hell, if thats the way its going to be they might as well make eye poking a stragedy. UFC needs to crack down on the eye poke rules and quit giving fighters losses on their records.

    Most likely both unintentional and without effect on the score, but still - eyegouging is so serious that even accidents could be deemed as no contest.

    I really think Cro Cop should have his win stripped for this one... Inadvertant or not, it was a hell of an eye gouge.
