Rogan explained eye injuries in pro-fighting

On JRE MMA Show #134, Rogan hosted Belal Muhammad, the #4 ranked welterweight in the UFC. During their conversation, they discussed martial arts, injuries, and future fights for Muhammad among other things. Speaking of Muhammad, Rogan said to Louis C.K.,“I had a guy in the other day, Belal Muhammad. He’s a UFC fighter who’s had a detached retina, and a detached lens on his other eye. On both eyes…”

Continuing further, Rogan pointed out a flaw in the UFC’s system that caused such injuries- “You’re talking to people like that, the game they’re playing is punching people in the face and a lot of times it’s going in the eyes because UFC gloves have open fingers. So guys accidentally get poked in the eye. F***ing terrifying.”

The issue of eye pokes has long plagued the UFC. Now, it looks like Rogan is also blaming the gloves as a cause for such instances.
