Oh well, what can you do? I feel bad for Gian, and I don't see why referee's can't reverse their decisions. Gian cleared things up literally seconds after that. The referee can't be like "Oh, sorry I was confused, nevermind. Fight continues!"? I get why you can't usually do that, but things were cleared up literally like 5 seconds after.

Let's bring on Rustam! Let's see some slams!

Such a pretty slam and finish. I hope we see at least one slam. Yancy looks like he could go for some flying.

The ref has to see the poke and award that break or be alerted to it and decide to award it. He should have circled away and try to get the break what he did was declare he couldn't fight.

5 minutes is only awarded for lowblows unless they changed it. With eyepokes it is either you can see and the fight starts again or you can't and it is stopped. The ref missed a call but with that understood his decision was correct.

He said he couldn't see. Not he couldn't fight. It's the referees job to clarify whether that means he can continue to fight or not. He didn't do that. He ended the fight immediately like an idiot.

Although, I will give it to you that Villante screwed up by taking a knee.
