gaethje poked him twice, the thumb was the second one. and the ref missed it and should have taken a point like he said he would after the first warning.

Can't even remember the last time a point was taken for a nut shot or an eye poke.

I think Cheick Kongo was the last point taken for a nutshot on a main card. And he had to really work for it-- in an era when reffing was much more strict about a number of things such as inactivity, not only fouls. Refs used to give constant verbal instruction when they saw a fighter begin to rake and go for pokes. Now they are less involved in the fight and sort of let it play out and ignore looking for things.

Too many times I've seen fighters have to call their own fouls. During the golden era, refs would stop a fight for a foul instantly. It might not lead to a point taken, but the fights got paused and they got a stern talking to which is more than we are getting today. Now fighters have to call their own nut shots and let the ref know whether they have been fouled. Just all ass backwards.

Reffing has taken a giant step back the last 10 years and isn't going to change overnight.

A poke should be automatic 1 point deduction, loss of % of purse and no fight bonuses.

from lowkickmma after tom got poked
"Since the beginning of 2024, only one fighter has been deducted a point for an eye poke in the UFC. In the entire history of the promotion, only 20 fights have occurred in which a fighter had a point deducted and the fight went to a decision. The UFC has had seven fights end in no contest due to eye pokes since 2005."

I have not found full stats anywhere, but have both that pokes happen every 10 or 14 fights.

stat from a 7 year old reddit post, in 100 fights that had eye pokes after UFC 100.
53 % of the pokers won
13% were no contest, draw or the other fighter also got poked.
34% poked fighter won.
