Chael and Anthony Smith have been flinging
Gane himself too, unbelievably

I haven't watched the Chael/Smith footage in context but have listened to Chael on both Good guy/Bad guy and Ariel's show and he was fully defending Aspinall claiming the context of the earlier comments were in regards to how part of their training was to fight with one eye to try and replicate this potential situation. Could be just back tracking now due to the reaction of course, immediately I thought we was just doing his 'I'm the badguy' routine. Haven't heard anything from Gane but that would be a shocker, it is interesting that there really isn't a downside to rake guys eyes in the ring. You might (but likely won't) get a point taken off and your opponent is more often than not to severely injured to have a chance at beating you and in most situations will resume fighting for ego or whatever. I do think immediate point loss for eye pokes is the way to do this, maybe 2 and its a forfeit, something like that.
