Even though eyes poke was nasty, he wasnt much in agony and pain during post fight interview. Why not give him a huge pause, 5 minutes or so (like after a groin kick), have doctors checked his eye, deduct Song points and cut his payment later in Cejudo favour, and continue? If he really wanted to win, he would continue fighting even without an eye I think one of his thoughts was to win this by disqualification.
