The outcome of the UFC 181 fight between Urijah Faber and Francisco Rivera will not be changed. Rivera and his camp had contested Faber’s victory over him because there was an accidental eye poke in the moments leading up to the finish. No one denies the eye poke, including Faber, but the rules currently in place for the Nevada Athletic Commission do not allow for a change in the outcome in this instance. Rivera suffered an eye poke in the moments before the end of the fight, but the eye poke itself did not stop the fight. The referee, Mario Yamasaki, did not see the eye poke, so the fight continued as if it never happened, with Faber eventually finishing the fight with a bulldog choke
