Jim Miller from UFC 314 For combat-eye pokes are DQ losses

Miami – Jim Miller is on board with great punishment for Eye Pokes.

Eye Pokes have recently caused many controversy moments in the UFC, most recently when Henry Cejudo was at the end of a fight against a song Yadong in UFC Fight Night 252 headliner. Cejudo was annoyed by dealing with referee Jason Herzog with the situation, which led to a loss in his record. Since then, Cejudo has struggled with his vision and plans to only compete for a while before he retired.

Miller (38-18 MMA, 27-17 UFC), who competes against Chase Hooper (15-3-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) from the UFC 314 Prelims in front of the Kaseya Center (Pay-Per-View, ESPN, ESPN+), whether he should be asked for an OK consideration when kidnapping disqualification loss.

Miller wants to treat her as a foul.

“Yes, I would – I would,” said Miller on Wednesday at UFC 314 Media Day to MMA Junkie and other reporters. “And frankly, if that was the case, if you knew that you disqualified yourself for a poke, I guarantee that you see a dramatic decline in the number of pokes you see. Accidents happen.” It happens. “

Miller admits that he was guilty of having committed eye kicks and would accept that they are disqualified.

“I was about to nose people in Grappling situations, and when I fought Donald Cerrone for the first time, he injured me to the body when I first replaced this fight,” said Miller. “I remember exactly where we were in the octagon, he had me against the cage in his corner and I tried to push him away because I wanted a f*cking room, and I felt my finger went a little in his eye and he hit me very, very hard afterwards.

“The referee had stopped the fight for it – hey man, I am a big boy. I am a grown man. It was my f*ce -up. So it happened. I was hurt, I didn’t want to be in this situation, and if we will have rules, we should follow them. To be honest, I think that disqualification if we should treat the foul like a foul like a foul.
