If Ass-pinall’s eye doesn’t come out looking like Belal’s in a few weeks, he’s a pussy
Damage to the cornea is hard to diagnose just off of looking at it even for an actual physician, you usually need shit like tracer dyes to actually know the extent of the damage.
Guy's cornea could be full of abrasions that make it literally impossible to keep it open due to the body's reflexes; when the ringside doc takes a single look at it he's essentially forced to make a decision in a couple seconds, at that point he isn't equipped to properly diagnose anything, just looks and if it isn't completely twisted, broken, or mangled beyond recognition he goes "welp, you're good to go I guess". Not to mention obviously the physician (despite technically being impartial) is pressured to make a decision that doesn't lead to the end of the fight.
Also the "well I guess he wasn't a true warrior because he didn't keep fighting using echolocation after 25 nutshots and blind in both eyes" talk is really asinine if you want people to treat MMA like an actual sport. Fouls need to be punished, deducted points, purse, or both, Hand out DQs for particularly egregious cases like this one, where the frog eating nigger was warned two times for it already, the one where he eyepoked the takedown attempt away earlier in the fight was bad enough as is. Not to mention there shouldn't be NCs at all for eye pokes; there are fighters who have had 0 in 53 fights and people like Jones and Lewis who hand them out like candy during halloween, it isn't an unavoidable consequence of the sport that just needs to be accepted. Sure, you could get gloves that make it physically impossible, but maybe if you pride yourself upon being the most technical striker in the division you could use that deep technical ability to keep your fucking shit stained nigger fingers upright when you're fighting for the belt, at least?
The Dana/DC narrative is also pretty fucking gay. They are obviously reducing Aspinall's stock while glazing Gane ahead of the contract renegotiation coming up after the next 2 fights, the guy teasing the transition to boxing probably didn't help. It's Ngannou 2.0, except gayer, somehow. They have this exciting, agile, massive KO artist heavyweight talent and they fuck him over with the Jones fiasco and now this.
