  1. Many of the KOTS fighters will not live a normal life after their 40'ies dues to small brain bleeds, cognetive issues, chronic commotio cordis syndrome etc. Their eyes is the least of their issues and can generally stand up to the pressure. Loss of eye sight or even death due to either direct trauma or head trauma is a calculated risk all fighters agree to, its def part of the game to risk it all.

  2. They eyes is just pussy why keep this in there? These things make me watch your guys channel less when these pussy moves are used

  3. Man I just found this KOTT short but I didnt watch their vids for like 5 months or so and now ppl can eye poke like this? WTF happened to KOTT? next vid someone gonna bite a ballsack come on guys back to your essence!

  4. Well it's not truly "no rules" since you can't use submissions unless both parties agree to use them. Wich makes no sense. A choke is a lot less harmless then eye gouging. I understand armbar or leglock. Since that can cripple someone for life. But a choke should definitely be allowed.

  5. I wouldn’t even care as much about the eye pokes if Eric Olsen wasn’t such a genuinely bad human being. Like to see him get his ass kicked though and it happens a lot so I guess KOTS has a good thing there lol

  6. I hear my Countrymen, using what is likely the most versatile curse word in existence. KURVA!! Technically, it just means whore… But that really undersells it 😂

  7. Brutal fight don't necessarily mean you can gouge your opponent's eyes out.. eyes gouging and ball's gouging should be banned.

  8. Eye gouging was a uniquely American fighting style that our frontiersmen used to good effect. I enjoyed seeing an American use it to beat the shite out of a tough Pole.

  9. Backcountry violence often included a peculiar form of disorder known as rough and tumble fighting or eye-gouging matches. These were no holds barred battles in which men fought all out, using any tactic possible to damage their opponents. Men often grew and sharpened their fingernails to use as weapons. They bit and scratched, pulled each others' hair, bit off fingers, ears and lips, pulled at their opponent's "cods." Most especially, combatants inserted their nails into the eye socket of an opponent and popped out the eye, a technique much bragged about. Travelers were stunned to see one-eyed men, men missing an ear or fingers severed at the joint, or with their lips bitten off. Occasionally, men died. All of these barbaric activities were part of savage attempts to defend one's honor. A typical rough and tumble match might attract drinkers and betters and often spawned additional fights or spread into general melee. Rough and tumble provided entertainment in areas desolate of diversion from the rigors of survival. They also provided a crude social hierarchy in areas dominated by wild game, outlaws and hostile Indians. Champion gougers sat at the top of a barbaric local "society."
    The emphasis on maximum disfigurement, on severing bodily parts, made this fighting style unique. Amid the general mayhem, however, gouging out an opponent’s eye became the sine qua non of rough-and-tumble fighting, much like the knockout punch in modern boxing. The best gougers, of course, were adept at other fighting skills. Some allegedly filed their teeth to bite off an enemy’s appendages more efficiently. Still, liberating an eyeball quickly became a fighter’s surest route to victory and his most prestigious accomplishment. To this end, celebrated heroes filed their fingernails hard, honed them sharp, and oiled them slick. "’You have come off badly this time, I doubt?’" declared an alarmed passerby on seeing the piteous condition of a renowned fighter. "’Have I,’ says he triumphantly, shewing from his pocket at the same time an eye, which he had extracted during the combat, and preserved for a trophy."

    Eye poking is a lot less dangerous. A poke, or finger jab, will cause the eye to
