he doesn't eyepoke. he keeps his fingers out... thats how he stops his opponents from getting in close. shady but a smart move IMO
He and Gus will be skewering each others retinas clean outta the sockets.
No dude its bullshit and should be against the rules. The only reason it isnt is bc no ones really done it. Someone's knees going to get fucked for life bc of that shit. A knee bar can do the same but you have the chance to tap. Kicking someone's knee it is just as tasteless as it gets.
They should both wear goggles.
Actually...
Are fighters allowed to do this?
Webster definition of eye poke: Keeping fingers in a horizontal plane as to deflect opponents eyes to release pressure in the form of blood and create vision impairing swelling.
I think that's actually not a bad statement

Like I can see the eyepokes being super annoying
I know they bother @Dr Hannibal Lecter like crazy roo
Autism is an epidemic
They have been a little bit better about the open hand eye poke strategy. It will be interesting to see if the ref tells Jones to make a fist or he will deduct a point or if he remains silent...Jones is as dirty as they get
You know a fighter is dirty when there are entire compilation videos of his eyepokes on Youtube and even a list of his top 10 eye pokes.

How can someone who cheats in multiple ways per fight ways be "arguably the greatest fighter of all time"? Makes no fucking sense. So if Ray Borg jumps in the cage and shoots Jon Jones with a gun, that makes him a champion and an all time great? Fighting smaller men, getting busted for steroids 4x and at least 1 eye poke per round and he is still in dipshit's GOAT talks? Lmao
