Several fighters ask for better UFC gloves after horrible eye poke against Belal Muhammad

UFC Vegas 21’s main event unfortunately ended up with a no contest after one of the most horrible looking eye pokes in recent memory.

Belal Muhammad was headlining his first UFC event and trying to get a top contender on his resume, while Leon Edwards was looking to secure a title shot after two years away from the sport. Both fighters had a lot running on that fight, but it all ended anticlimactically after the gruesome eye poke sent Muhammad screaming and weeping in agony. The video already looked particularly nasty, but the close up photos of the incident just displayed the severity of the poke.
