When you're fighting someone, what part of his body should you be looking at to best defend yourself?
Should you be looking at his eyes? His hands? His torso? I've been watching alot of MMA and I'm not quite sure what these guys are watching when they fight eachother. Should you be watching different parts of the body when you're at different distances? For example, the hands when you're close, the feet when you're farther apart? What do the pros do?

You should see it all, but not fixated on any one part. Your sight picture should be similar to viewing a scenery in its entirety where your vision is not diffused to the point where individual features are unrecognizable, but you are also not fixated on a single feature.
You also do not use your eyes when you are in close range such as in grappling range - you use your sense of touch to feel the shift in weight and angle of momentum from which your opponent is directing force at you. In many ways, the sense of touch is more accurate and telegraphs the intent of your opponents sooner than the outward movements that you detect with your eyes.
The pros is that you don't need light to defend yourself. Where do you think you are more likely to be mugged - in well lighted areas or a darkened alley? How do you propose to "see"?

Focus on looking at the whole person rather than just specific places. When I notice a fighter looking too much and specifically at my torso or just my feet or hands or elbows then I can take advantage of that.
Other areas like the torso, his elbows, knees, feet, and eyes, as well as his facial expressions can give away things but if you focus on just one or two of those things then you are missing the others. Instead look at the whole person while also noting those things and when they start to shift and move and what your opponent is doing with them rather than just focusing on one or two of them. Then you see more as well as when they start to shift their balance and what it is they are about to do more easily.

Look at everything. Train all your senses. If you had your eyes poked out, you'd still need to defend yourself so it's just not eyesight only. When you fight another person you shouldn't look at single body parts only but look at the whole body and analyze strengths and weaknesses; rather look through him and see through his eyes(anticipation). Brute rage against strategic science accomplishes very little.

watch his chest because then you can see his whole body and can predict his movements if you watch his hands your not looking at his feet, if your watching his feet then your not watching his hands
and looking at his face and eyes is the worst thing to do because then you are drawn to his eyes cause thats what naturally happens when you look at a person's face
look at his chest and you can predict what hes going to do based off of body movements

bottom of the throat when its visible. When it isn't, you're too close to "see" and must rely upon touch.
