Although I agree the belt should not have changed hands as I think they should have called it a no contest, there was no eye gouge.
An eye gouge would involve directly putting your finger into the eye or eye socket. This would imply it was deliberate. Belfort most definately did not use an eye gouge. He threw a legitimate punch and the seem of his glove caught Couture’s eyelid causing it to cut open.

Yeah! In terms of athleticism CroCop is something else. His reflexes are out of this world and he is incredibly strong. He threw big Mark Coleman off like he was a middlewight or something.
