Apparently Mendes tried to pry open Conor's gash.

I haven't seen this discussed but Mendes tried several times to rip open the cut on Conors eye. Here's a gif from reddit: http://gfycat.com/FastLegitimateKingbird

Dean warned him several times and it appears he even chastised him between rounds. Pretty dirty if you ask me. If there was a fix, this was a perfect opportunity to take a point from Mendes given he still did it after Herb Dean said he would take a point if he did it again. But nah, I'm sure it was still a fix.

go get some fresh air dude

Interesting.  I don't fault Mendes.  It's a fight.  Dirty? Perhaps, but this ain't fucking babysitting that's happening in the cage, know what i mean?  No harm no foul.

It's a cage fight

That seems pretty chickenshit on mendes part. I couldn't figure out what he kept warning him about. Now I can see it. Phone Post 3.0

Is it illegal to fuck with a cut using the fingers? Phone Post 3.0

not sure how i feel about this

wow that is kind of grimy but fuck its smart. Is that against the rules? If so never heard of it specifically.

Not sure I can hate on Mendes for it. I mean you throw elbows with the intent of causing a cut and if you get one you keep trying to hit it so what the difference if you target it with fingers?

I called this when it was happening, it's cowardly bullshit period, don't care who disagrees. Phone Post 3.0

I remember thinking the UG would be super angry about this when I saw it live.
It wouldn't be the first time someone did that in mma. Phone Post 3.0

I'm pretty sure one of the UFC rules says that you aren't allowed to put your fingers into any laceration (cut) on the opponent. Still, it's a cage fight with a ton on the line. Doesn't really make me think less of Mendes. Kinda icky though.

If he cut himself on his glove tape, call time out and fix it.  If YOU caused the cut, RIP IT APART.

Rumble Young Man Rumble - Takes time to point this out to reason as to why this can't be a fix. Lol, this shill.

So do you take the time to spell out "shill" every time you read something you disagree with or don't understand, or do you have a dedicated button for it? (Is it right next to the "driveway snow" button?) If not you should consider it, it would probably save you tons of time.

Dana had a fit when Arona did this to Saku

wonder what he will say about this?

This is interesting, I did notice Herb Dean constantly telling him to watch his fingers but I didn't notice him just try to scratch his cut open even more.

I don't blame Chad, when you have a dude cursing you out non stop you get pissed. Conor brought it on himself.

Who the fuck hasn't tried this in a fight?
