Danielle Taylor earned her first v༒ictory in the UFC when she defeated Seo Hee Ham at UFC Fight Night 101, but it didn’t come without controversy, as Ham cl🌺aimed that Taylor poked her in the eye in the third round, something the referee didn’t catch.
“Well, I knew I didn’t – I know I didn’t poke her eye,” Taylor said , courtesy of MMA Junkie. “But I waited. Once the ref gave me the green light, I went. I’m not going to stop. He said go, (so) go. Green means go. It’s a fight.”
However, a screen capture that was put on Tw🧸itter by Lady Go! wmma kiꩵc box shows the damage done to the eye of Ham by the alleged eye poke.

Ham was actually poked in the e🍃ye twice during the three round affair, the referee stopped the fight to fi🐻rst time after Ham claimed injury, but the referee didn’t stop the fight during the apparent infraction.
Neither Ham n▨or the UFC have commented o✃n the matter.
