That should be a point. Pretty blatant, both eyes. #UFCSeattle

Big eyepoke from Song. Would like to see the rest of this fight stay clean and keep it fair. #UFCSeattle

Ref should take a point from Song. Eye poke like that can impact the fight significantly #UFCSeattle

Henry is going to maximize that 300 seconds. Smart move, don’t give any edge. #UFCSeattle

Henry Cejudo told his corner after Round 3: “I can’t see, man. Everything is blurry. It’s my left eye.” #UFCSeattle pic.twitter.com/jJbjScyN7q

Well, that was unexpected.

Just to clarify, I didn’t see tonight’s UFC card, but in five-round fights, technical decisions can be made after three rounds are completed. pic.twitter.com/PmQTeG4PZs
