I'm really sick of Rogan's bullshit. That was completely on the fighter; he knows the rules. Downing yourself and saying that you can't see is declaring that you can no longer fight.
It's at the discretion of the referee to determine how much time you receive for a foul or if there are points to be deducted. Usually, they give them 5 minutes to recover.
If a foul is committed:
The referee shall call timeout.
The referee shall order the offending contestant to a neutral location.
The referee shall check the fouled contestant's condition and safety.
The referee shall then assess the foul to the offending contestant and deduct points if the referee deems it appropriate, and notify the commission, the corners, the official scorekeeper of his decision on whether the foul was accidental or intentional and whether a point is to be taken away.
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.
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.
