They really need to fix that open hand pushoff loophole.  That is what is leading to all these ******* eyepokes, not the gloves.

They can't really make a glove to fix the problem or atleast haven't yet so I think what they should do is really start penalizing people more.Two eyepokes is an automatic point and to enforce it properly incorperate ref's being able to see a replay like in some other sports,that way people don't fake it or start playing that game.

yes they have

Bellator/everlast 's gloves has significantly decreased eye pokes & hand breaks. i remember when bjorn offered dana the chance to use them with the ufc.

Refs need to make it a point of emphasis to A.) Act preemptively to stop eye pokes by giving fighters "judging distance" with their fingers extended one, maybe two warnings, and then taking a point. And B.) The commission needs to change the rules on eye pokes by giving them more time to recover. You can take 5 minutes for a low blow, but if you get gouged in the eye you get about 30 seconds to a minute to decide whether or not you're going to be able to SEE DURING A FISTFIGHT. It's slightly important and guys should be able to take 5 minutes to recover their vision as best as possible. It might cut down on some of these NCs due to eye pokes.

Both guys already gassed at the end of the 1st. I'd say that favors Lentz.
