'Triple C' watched with envy while the former champion adjusted on the UFC 313 -Prelims on 8 March.
Henry Cejudo's fight with Song Yadong ended in disappointing fashion when the Olympic gold medal winner looked back to bounce back from successive defeats.
The main event of UFC Seattle a few weeks ago was decided by a technical decision after caring claims from Cejudo after an important eye chef.
The conversation around Eye Pokes continued the following weekend at UFC Vegas 103 and in European Promotion Kooi Warriors where the main event ended on the same night as UFC 313 in a NO match.
Because some call for referees to punish hunters for mistakes, we saw exactly that during the prelims in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Henry Cejudo responds to arms Petrosyan that a point is deducted from UFC 313
In the fourth fight of the night on UFC 313, Bruno Ferreira van Brazil earned his fourth finish in the Octagon when he handed Petrosyan's third consecutive loss.
The Brazilian took off a smooth arm bar in the second round to win the crane for his first entry victory since he was signed at the UFC in 2022.
Although Petrosyan apparently got away with a fence in the second round, referee Mark Smith did not go unnoticed.
The Armenian striker polluted Ferreira with a low staircase to do it again less than 30 seconds later as soon as the fight was restarted, so that he was deducted a point.
Although it did not ultimately influence the end result, Smith looked to check the fight after Ferreira had endured back-to-back errors.
In a message on social media marked on the UFC broadcast, Henry Cejudo referred to his fight with Song Yadong, which was referred by Jason Herzog.
Fans were very happy to see an error punished on UFC 313
Whether it is an eye choke, fence or low blow, fans have long felt that these possibly fight errors do not fight enough.
Although Mark Smith did not have much option after Armen Petrosyan had run two grumps quickly in succession, it was refreshing to see that a UFC officer responded quickly with an important action.
That may not be a consistent trend in the future, but it is a step in the right direction to reduce the amount of errors.
“Petrosyan pollution, fak errors, grabbing the fence. Guy is just a lame, “wrote a fan on social media with many who called him to be cut out of the selection after having gone 3-4 in the Octagon.
