1. Of all the fights he's 'accidentally' poked his opponents eyes (4 in one fight, I believe) he has not suffered a single point deduction.

2. He gets a break in the middle of the round for every time the referee stops the fight to check his opponent's eye and make sure he's fully recovered.

3. Opponents are more fearful of moving in, and staying out of Jone's range, and he theirs, after being poked in the eye.

4. When confronted of this dirty tactic, he (or Dana being his mouthpiece) can play the victim, that only Jones's 'Haters' criticize him for doing this.
So, yeah, despite Dana White's comment 'they go to stop' unless Jones has some kind of consequences for a dirty tactic, don't expect to 'see' a change of strategy anytime soon.
Deal With It.

JUST ADDED - 5. Eye pokes can seriously disrupt his opponents ability to see. It's been documented that fighters, after eye pokes were received and fight was continued, had suffered blurry vision, which can effect the entire fight. Not being able to see incoming strikes or takedowns as well as they would have before the eye poke/s. And this issue is exasperated the more eye pokes are received both eyes.
Just felt like adding this....
