Jorge Masvidal proposes a 20% purse penalty for fighters who commit eye pokes in the UFC, suggesting immediate point deductions and financial consequences to deter the foul. He believes this approach would effectively change fighter behavior regarding eye pokes.
Jorge Masvidal proposes a 20% purse penalty and immediate point deductions for fighters who commit eye pokes.
Masvidal believes that hitting fighters in their wallets will make them more cautious, as financial consequences are a strong motivator.
Masvidal experienced severe eye pokes in fights against Colby Covington and Lorenz Larkin, which prompted his call for stricter penalties.
Masvidal suggests implementing a 'yellow card' system for eye pokes, where fighters face immediate penalties and the deducted money goes to the affected opponent.

ā ALL THE SMOKE Boxing (@atsboxing) April 27, 2026 Real talk. Cody Durden lost to several newcomers in the organization, then faced a guy who always delivers great performances and beat him. At the end of the day, itās about who wants it more.

A lot of young guys lack that drive. This veteran proves that the one who wants it more is always ahead.
ā Andre āMascoteā lima (@Andremascote) April 26, 2026 Guys, itās simple. Brazilians who truly apply jiu-jitsu at a high level in MMA have been training MMA for years. Rodolfo Vieira and Marcus āBuchechaā Almeida started MMA more recently.
Thatās why itās harder to implement it like Charles Oliveira or Diego Lopes.
