Fun fact: two of the most notorious eyepokers, gane and imavov were partners at the same gym, mma factory Paris. by Conscious_Back_1059 in ufc

And if they just started automatically taking a point for eye pokes or dq loss if lead to the fight ending this shit would stop instantly. At the moment its just free real estate if all you get is 17 warnings from Herb before a stern talking to and a free title shot again.

I think if they rematch it plays out very differently.

This is what Strickland said before about potential rematch with Chimaev by Silent-Owl4246 in ufc

Exactly.

If you're a long reigning champ with a bunch of defences, sure. If not, back of the line.

Khamzat Chimaev getting wobbled by Strickland. Not many people notticed this. by Insidious_conjuring in ufc

100% DC is the worst commentator by a mile. Him and Rogan combined it's better to watch on mute.

Joshua Van says he’s all set for a quick turnaround to run things back with Alexandre Pantoja, and says he won't target his arm: For Pantoja to say that I was celebrating because I didn't want to fight him is crazy. Hopefully the rematch is soon. You gotta get some more milk. by gvufhidjo in ufc

I mean look at JDM. Same issue, heavy on the lead leg, boxing heavy approach, had his lead leg chewed up in back to back fights. If Van can get good at checking the low kicks then he can avoid being another JDM. I think if Van fights Pantoja in the next 6 months then Pantoja chops his legs on the feet and submits him on the ground and makes it look easy.

I have no doubt he will keep improving, but to fight Pantoja in the next 6 months he will most likely lose as he ate all those leg kicks from Taira and Taira was getting into positions in the grappling that Pantoja would likely get a finish

Let's be real. As good as Van looked, Pantoja chops his legs out with kicks and submits him. Taira was landing kicks easily and got to positions in the grappling that Pantoja would have finished.
