- "Eyepokes are a Problem in the UFC
There are many awful fouls in the MMA, but eyepokes are some of the most egregious.
An eyepoke simply refers to when a fighter extends their fingers into an opponents eye, usually to deter a fighter from recklessly closing distance or in order to gain an advantage by impairing a fighter’s vision.
Eyepokes can change the course of a flight, end a fight entirely, and cause permanent damage to a fighter’s sight.
And yes there are bad apples with a history of this foul, but one way to mitigate this is to change the UFC gloves.
The current gloves are stiff and leave a fighters hands in a naturally open position, but famed coach Trevor Whittman has developed a glove to solve this problem.
They naturally keep your fists in a curved position which would point a fighter’s fingers downward.
The UFC was actually so impressed that they wanted to buy the rights to these gloves, but Trevor Whittman wants the gloves to be ubiquitous across MMA organizations, so it seems like it will remain that

Jones be foul 💀
Yup
Most overrated fighter ever
@@PotatoL001 Either you’re just tryna be different or you don’t know UFC which one is it
@@bd7xct350 GSP and DJ are both better fighters. Jones is the dirtiest champion we've had in a long time.
@@bd7xct350he's not far off with what he's saying. Don't get it twisted, JBJ is an amazing fighter, but he's as overrated as he is skilled
They are actually using new gloves this Saturday. Not sure that they’re the exact ones in the video but I saw Gilbert with them and he showed they don’t extend fingers no more
Yup
According to Zac Pauga they’ve been using them all year, just no one said anything I guess
When?
Dumb thing, why not just ban eye poking
Guarantee it won’t stop eye pokes from happening
Pretty sure the new 30 year anniversary gloves are curved
cause of jon jones funnily enough
@@cornbaII and
Edward Scissor-hands
@The one and only Leon is a cheat.
@The one and only Belal has no fans, remember?
@@max7even284 usman deserved to get cheated against. Leon probably won’t have many more fouls in his career after the point deduction costing him his u-dec
DC learned the secret technique of eye poke after fighting Jones 😂
Bro that one was really bad 😂 Looked super incidental
It happens in fights, it's not intentional even Jon does it for maximum reach not for pokes
In typical UFC fashion. It has to be OURS or nothing LMAO
Thats not actually what happened...
its these practices that helped them grow tho. not saying giant companies buying everything in sight is a good thing, but the ufc has been so good to us I wont complain bout this one.
@@RenegadeHOU same as Disney
They buy everything
And You hate them for it
But if you were them you’d probably do the same
Such is life
@Necroverse19 That's exactly what happened. Now sh*t up and go to sleep kid.
Solution: After a fighter gets poked in the eye, he gets to poke the poker in the same eye. 🤯
an eye for an eye lol
Edwards Scissor hands would be blind by now (had that ruled been enforced before his last 3 fights)
😂😂😂or the fight end instantly and the winner is the one who got eyepoked. That way no one would ever eyepoke again.
If Jones didn't poke the opponent's eye means the opponent is weak
Like gane
@@kevinhanandi yep
That’s true
Which is a pussy move
@@like2jo4796 gane is levels below Jon. Pretty sure Rogan, correct me if I’m wrong, said that he’s a the product of a scarce HW division.
Jon Jones's defense is to literally poke his opponents in the eye lol. And he can do it easily coz of his 7 foot long arms.
Krav maga!
@juts_samaJon pokes his opponents in the eyes, and his body with needles
@@gigachad6885perfect
That’s messed up. They should disqualify people for that.
they do if it happens hard or frequently enough
@@curry3824No they don't Jon was using the eye poke the same way other fighters use the jab and they let it happen.
Jon Jones would be tier two if he couldnt destroy ACL's and eyeballs
do you honestly believe this? im genuinely asking, not trying to be rude
@@Big_Ego I mean lets be honest whenever he’s faced good competition that start to find rhythm he either A) oblique kicks the opponent non stop or B)Puts his fully extended fingers in the opponent’s face usually poking their eyes in the process.
I believe it was rampage that said after his fight with jones his knees were never the same because everytime he tried to do anything jones threw that kick
@@Big_Ego he’s admitted to being a dirty fighter, I think that if he didn’t have those two things he would still be top 3-5 but I think his career would look different
@@talentedbutnotskilled-agni7798 ya i feel u i just think tier 2 is a stretch lol. i also think fighting dirty in this regard is the path of least resistance, and in his mind is a no brainer choice to fall back on. someone of jones' level - someone who is objectively several levels above any competitor he has faced, even in tough matchups - has more tools in their arsenal to persevere. jon has shown plenty of times this is possible but time and time again chooses the path of least resistance. but i promise you man, even just look at how other fighters revere him in the same breath they call him a dirty fighter; jon doesnt need to do this its just easier. in his mind probably in the same vein as working smarter snd not harder. and seriously im not like a jones fanboy or anything i just think its insane to even remotely entertsin the possibility of him being tier 2
honestly not true
A.k.a the End of Jon Jones and the rest of the Eye Pokers.
The new gloves will also limit holding a body part part like someone leg for example
"Alright! You may have blinded him with that one. One point!"
They need to stop giving eye pokers fights not change the gloves
🤣 I’m sure gathje would have wanted these at ufc 300
You gotta be able to properly grapple people
Maybe fighters can just wear swimming goggles 🤔🙂
Pride FC had the correct gloves almost 30 years ago. UFC is simply too cheap. Mass production products
Will be interesting to see how this effects submission defense and striking defense
Trevor Whitman is a true fan and legend of the sport
I will never respect the narcissistic, sociopathic, dirty foul playing fighter named Jon Jones. And no one shall break my frame.
Thanks for defining "eye poke"
Goggles and snorkel should just be part of the official equipment
I laughed out loud thank you
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't these gloves make grappling inconvenient?
That’s what I was thinking. Limited finger extension could result in higher difficulty to grapple. I’d take that over eye pokes though
Eye pokes in the UFC should the renamed to "Jon Jones", as a homage to the eye poke champion.
I disagree
We need to stop the crime by punishing people. People clearly see eye pokes as so advantageous that people like Jones have built entire careers off of it
And that’s why Leon Edwards is the most aesthetic human in planet earth
We had less this weekend, i like those new gloves.
Who is here after weidman vs silva …?
It’s annoying how they feel they need to own something to use it
Eye pokes blessed us by not having to watch a Bella Mohamed match 😎
Little skinny white naked penguinz0 follower using that emoji like 13 year old while he was older than that
Yesss you right, cause if the fight still countinue idk probably Belal gonna end his opponents life with one eye blind, thanks to ufc for saving eye pocker guy life from belal smesss 🤣
This is why ufc gloves should have a mitten end covering the fingertips
If you got good reflexes then you good
That's so ignorant. They don't want it because they can't slap their brand on it. So selfish. If you cared about your fighters than you would do it regardless. Plus that man is trying to make his own living. They are trying to make that man's hard work part of their prosperity
Correct
Trevor's gloves are very similar to Pride FC gloves and there weren't hardly any eye pokes during their fights
Jon Jones - Yo, leave me outta this..
Bellator and One solved This problem years ago.
And years and years ago Pride hadn't this Problem so many times.
Yes it can affect to grappling due to finger grip is a little reducted but is a little price to pay to try prevent more eye pokes
Will there be any problem during wrestling or grappling because of these curve gloves ?😊
How are you supposed to do some grappling if theres nothing to hold on to?
meanwhile king of the streets matches that allows full on eye gouging and spitting blood in someones eye and headbutts, and bites and tries to makes fights as bloody as possible and doesnt end fights till someone is basically near death or there eyes are boutta get ripped out from a eye gouge
some fights even continue even if someones knocked out and just getting beaten near death
fighters be all bloody or with broken noses and ears and bloody eyes and blood all over there body after most king of the streets matches
Why change the gloves? Jones is inactive anyway.
PLEASE DO LIVESTREAM
It's crazy to me that PRIDE was founded in 1997, went defunct 10 years later, and STILL have the best gloves. Obviously that extended to DREAM and now RIZIN, but how the UFC just stubbornly refused to adopt better gloves when they've existed for 25 years is beyond me. Shit, bellator got better gloves like 8 to 10 years ago now.
Bring back the broughton era gloves!
Trebor also copied the style, there were curved gloves being used before too
Explain about oblique kicks
DC poking stipe was so deliberate
He cheated and still lost. Love to see it
@@cynic5267 lost the 2nd and 3rd
@@BattleBondGamer he actually won all 3 fights, he’s the heavyweight goat casual, stick to gaming babygirl
@@Spatulacactus ...stipe got the ko/tko in that 2nd fight and the UD in the 3rd 🤣
And eye poke pain doesn’t go away quick like a low blow, your eye will continue to hurt for longer then the fight normally
BJJ transition are hard with curved gloves
There is NO issue with the gloves, ALL eyepokes are 100% intentional, there are tons of fighters who use an open handed stance who have NEVER poked an opponent in the eye
How to become the strongest fighter: master the eye poke. One poke and even a UFC fighter would crumble to the floor in tears
so what the UFC will instead do is create a version that's so close to the original you can't tell it's different, but it's different enough to be legally usable
That’s mad Yh defo don’t them mma gloves if they’re gonna be used to used to dangerously harm and cheat someone’s eyesight out defo need to change the look of the gloves
The answer is obvious: Z87 safety glasses for all fighters required by OSHA
Pride gloves are the best mma gloves in the market and the ufc should rebrand them and start using them. Boxing glove manufacturers like grant and winning or rival make the high quality gloves I think they should dip the toes in 4oz gloves.
Or you could just ban the arm extension with an open palm. A jab is how you feel the distance anyway.
Yeah just ban posting, genius
I believe 1 or 2 ppvs ago the UFC started using new gloves with the curve position
Sorry if you don’t like eye pokes but captain insano taught me to show no mercy
Ya they already ripped Trevor's gloves off
If eye pokes are legal then so is biting. I'm gonna bite the hell out of my opponents arms when I start sparring.
Edward Scissorhands
Even if it's curved downwards it will ruin grappling game of figters
Damn bilal eye😢
This is Jon Jones' QCF + Punch move
And inlove how they just fixed this problem and right after that jon said he might retire
Thank god you explained what a eye poke was. I was thinking. What kind of illegal move is this you speak of😮
They’ve already changed the gloves lol
what about grapplers and wrestlers it won't be hard for them?
I always say pride was ahead of it's time when it comes to everything even gloves they solved this issue decades ago their glove's prevent eye pokes perfectly a lot of fighters commented how good pride gloves were
Biggest karate nerf
I don’t know how neither dc or Jon went blind during their fights lol
Dana being Dana again
Is he really talking about permanent damage as if this whole sport wont ever give you any?💀
you can still poke peoples eyes if youre behind your opponent. you can curve your fingers into their eyes.
They didn't even offer to buy the patent... But nee gloves are supposedly coming this year
Well UFC has changed gloves now
50% of DC's fight plan is eye pokes.
I would take 1 point for every eyepoke
Won't these curved gloves negatively affect grapplers though?
The other way to mitigate eyepokes in MMA organizations is to... Idfk *punish* people who eyepoke and ban those who do it a certain amount of times??
Trevor Whttman designed the best MMA gloves ever. The UFC tried to by his patten and he said 🖕
Wonder who designed their new ones
This entire reel could have been Jon Jones
Ban eyepokes and oblique kicks and Jones is a nobody
My man gives definition for an eye poke...😅😂😂
Well, my first language is not english so that definition was useful
I know that they are using new gloves for this fight card izzy vs Alex 2 but I don’t think they are Trevor whittmans. I don’t know if just don’t wanna pay Trevor for the rest of his life or something but they need his gloves Fr.
The UFC have new gloves debuting this Saturday at UFC287. I really wish Trevor would've agreed with the UFC though cuz these 2 gloves are not remotely the same
And ruin other organizations chances of using the glove while also making Dana way more money of of Whitemans invention? It would've been a bozo move by Trevor
Seriously, dana tries to monopolize and hog everything, like ufc aint the only mma promotion around. Everyone is already trying to get there anyway, and dana trying to have exclusively in ufc 🙄
Why would he agree to sell it exclusively to the UFC and not make more money by selling it to ALL MMA organizations?
Typical greed
One of Jon Jones favorite special moves.
didn’t the ufc just make more curved gloves?
Jon never developed a good jab because he just used the eye poke instead.
How about Pride gloves?
If we being honest it's not THAT big of an issue like ufc will go multiple cards without an eye poke
There's an easy solution to eye pokes: Immediate DQ loss. No warnings, no regard for intentional vs unintentional. The problem will clean itself up in a flash.
Jones…
Pride fc had the best gloves imo
Dana is incredibly petty and resistant to change so nothing will get done about it.
Why does every shirt have to be a loop
They should've adopted the old pride style gloves
They literally just updated the gloves this year
Yeah they just changed them for 287 so we'll see if they stick
Can they grapple in those gloves?
@@NeilSteel yes they’re better for grappling because they curl the fingers in to the palm slightly
Ah yes, the "GOAT" at eye poking
Jones would probably still find a way to poke people in the eye 💀
Now that they changing gloves, we will know it is deliberate and be able to DQ fighters who do it and perma ban them
