    Why is a toe in the eye considered different to a finger in the eye??

    Cause you can’t contract your toes like you can your fingers according to big John McCarthy on twitter

    You also don't have the same fine motor control over your foot or toes you do over your hands and fingers.

    Cringy celebration by Harris. They were both brutal. He should be embarrassed with his performance.

    Yeah it was a **** up I think. Goddard should have stopped it to let the doctor have a look like an eye pike instead of didn't and when Anderson moved in he had no choice but to wave the fight because Cat couldn't defend herself.

    Big John said it was a right decision by Goddard. No such thing as a toe poke apparently, claims it's similar to if a punch to the eye caused an injury it wouldn't be a NC. Seems harsh, but thems the rules apparently.

    Maybe more then likely John is taking the heat off Mark. As subcommandante said should of allowed doc in

    Mendes has 2 wins in the last 5 years so is doing really well to still be #5 in the division.

    Volkonovski has such good hands.

    No idea why Chad wasn't more patient when he had the back.

    Mendes took lots of shots and hung in there but then another elbow came and he had nothing left. They both landed huge shots. Great fight

    Great fight that. Volkanovski looked top class, first time I can recall seeing him fight. Good stand up, high energy and excellent at getting back up after a takedown.

    That makes more sense, was still built like a brick ****house and weighed like 100kg.

    Whatever he played the boys heavy hands he caught chad with some big shots and his energy to escape a RNC and get onto his feet within 10 secs is impressive

    I think his leg strength from playing rugby all his life was huge tonight. Being able to stand up while Chad Mended is trying to hold you down is insane, Chad is an elite level wrestler. That was ridiculously impressive.

    True story:
    Ilir Latifi was the person who stopped the lads on Khabib's bus from getting off by blocking the exit and telling the driver not to open it.
    Turns out he has some sort of private security training and it kicked in when it all kicked off.

    Ha. I didn't know that. He'd have made a fine corner back in his day
