GDT: UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad

When I was playing baseball and a pitch was coming towards me, I would instinctively put my palm out to block the ball

I wasn't doing that to measure the distance, I was trying to stop the ball from hitting my face

Yep, you will see guys in a scrap or out of position raise their hand's palm out. Especially when they are throwing a kick and they are just trying to block in an awkward position. That's kind of what happened here but Balal stepped into it. Other guys will hand fight a bit during stand-up to measure distance for a strike, which can also result in eye pokes.

What's that got to do with MMA?
