Rumored Jon Jones behind glove change for UFC 309

[GordoBarraBJJ]

LOL,

Stipe gonna get eye poked, blinded then 12-6 elbow'd into Bolivian.

 

[Khaosan]

You can’t make this shit up.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

That's some GOAT-level pull!

 

[Captain Herb]

UFC is such a joke. It would be like the NFL taking air out of the game balls because Tom Brady said he liked that better

 

[Sycho Sid]

Stipe's biggest weakness has been eyepokes, so this makes sense

 

[Ares Black]

This is a fucking disgrace, even by the standards of a disgraceful company.

It's absurd

This vid from Ariel gave me the idea for this thread. Although I wan't really paying much attention when I watched.



Jon's eye pokes have been blatently ignored by refs before. Jon asked to not have big John ref his fights before, probably because big John would actually enforce the rules.

Ironically they changed the rules for outspread fingers for Jon, then the UFC changed the gloves to prevent outspread fingers. But now when it would be Jon's first time fighting in said gloves, they changed them back just for his event...

So I'm interested what my sherbros think about it.

perhaps, this is not the intended section, broseph?

 

[Adamant]

Yes, it's too much of a coincidence.

Not perhaps, defintely

 

[Iroh]

@Gio can you move my thread to the heavies, pretty please?

 

[Fishmonger]

Not perhaps, defintely

it's close enough

 

[lsa]

what is this shit?
Take it to the HW.

Done.

 

[Iroh]

Done.

Apparently they changed them for Weidman since he hasn't won in MSG before and this could be the last dance

Lol I forgot he is also on the card. Maybe they have made a pact together though or even a challenge about who can perform the most eye pokes in their fight.

Stipe eye poked DC badly in the 3rd fight.

i remember his eye looking weird for a while after that. even still gets a little wonkey sometimes.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

its likely because stipe also has used eye pokes. if that wasn't the case if be thinking of it different but he poked the hell out of dcs eye so might as well let both eye pokers blind each other.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Yes; however, it is to Stipe's advantage
