Henry Cejudo expressed grave concerns about eye pokes in mixed martial arts following the UFC Vegas 103 event, where Manel Kape faced Asu Almabayev. During the fight, Almabayev experienced multiple eye grazes from Kape's fingers, notably one leading to a controversial stoppage. Despite Almabayev's complaints, the referee did not call a foul, leading to a finish with Kape appearing dominant overall. Cejudo's comments underline ongoing issues with officiating and the potential impact of such injuries on the sport's reputation and growth.
