Count Joe Rogan among those who believe Li Jingliang was insufficiently punished for his intentional eye-gouge in a loss to Jake Matthews at UFC 221 this past weekend. During a welterweight fight against Jake Matthews (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) at UFC 221 at Perth Arena in Australia, Jingliang (14-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) gruesomely stuck his fingers into his opponent’s eyes to escape from a guillotine. It worked, and he faced no repercussions. Not only did referee Mark Simpson not penalize Jingliang for the blatant foul, but he hardly even acknowledged it. He merely attempted to swipe Jingliang’s hand away while it clawed Matthews’ face.
