    It's impossible to reason with the intellectually deficient and morally corrupt segment of the combat sports community.

    You haven't actually tried to reason anything. You've asked me to watch a video, one that I have already watched.

    As I said your request didn't really relate to my post.

    I can only assume you've gotten me confused with another poster due to, as you say, intellectual deficiency.

    I wasn't referring to you and I apologize for the ambiguity of my post. After watching the video I struggle with the inability of some 'people' to recognize the corrupt nature of the victory and how the open-handed strategy employed by Wormier was deliberately used in order to gain an advantage. Stipe was too fast and good for him up until the eye poke. Perhaps Daniel would have worn Stipe down in the later rounds but I sincerely doubt it. The point is that Cormier comes off as a nice guy but in reality what he did was just as inexcusable as Jones knowingly taking enhancements.

    They are some haters, that can't stand the fact that Cormier bounced Miocic's head off the canvas like that.

    Asking people to watch a video that shows one conclusive eye poke, while claiming it happened over and over, is fairly ******ed. The commentator is doing the same thing you are, very Speculative.

    One knuckle deep eye poke is too many. Look at all the warnings and close calls with Cormier's fingers jabbing at Stipe's eyes.

    Knuckle deep? He poked him in the eye, but don't exaggerate.

    I have no problem with a legitimate victory in sport, but if you think that the eye gouging that Stipe suffered wasn't intentional and didn't influence the outcome of the fight then you are delusional.

    One eye guage friend, and I already acknowledged that it should have been penalized. It just wasn't Stipe's night.
