In MMA eye gouges do happen quite a lot and they don't usually mean someone going blind but rather just the eye being poked which is very painful for the other fighter and not to mention against MMA rules. It's also called eye poking but I don't think I've ever seen anyone get arrested for it. Hope this clears up a bit more what I meant from that.The guy who apparently only got expelled from the freaternity after what should've landed him a few years in prison
