Henry Cejudo claims that UFC has changed rules with regard to eye samples

Since the fight, Cejudo has shared an update that he still sees double, despite the fact that the fight has now been more than a month ago.

Unfortunately, eye pokes are something in MMA that are inevitable and will probably continue to bully the sport, despite the UFC, the design of the gloves recently changed to combat the problem.

After a recent conversation with the vice -president of regulatory issues, Marc Ratner claimed Cejudo that the UFC has changed the rules regarding eye products.

Usually it is the referee's decision whether they deduct a point for an eye chefs, and usually a hunter can get away with the committing of multiple errors before a point is deducted.

“I spoke with Marc Ratner, and they really want it, they are really going to change on eye pokes to where the warning is already out, as if there are no more warnings,” Cejudo claimed in an interview with MMA Junkie.

Henry Cejudo's vision is still in danger from Song Yadong, and he leans after another fight to retirement.

“I want to be able to play with my children. I don't want to be able to lose an eye.”

Cejudo reveals that he will only fight again before he retires

With the Olympic gold medal winner who now suffers three losses in a row in a row and from the back of what he claims is the greatest injury to his career, the 38-year-old has revealed that he will probably retire after another fight.

“I have never really seen the sport of mixed martial arts as dangerous, and I spoke with my wife, and I think this could be my last fight, man. If one and then it is. If I could run back with a song, then I would be happy with that, but if it is not a song, I would like to give someone the UFC.

“I want to be able to play with my children, guy, not losing off – eye,” he went on.

Despite what some fans may think of the personality of Cejudo, he will undoubtedly perish as one of the greatest hunters of all time and is in the small group of hunters who have completed the performance of double champion status.
