Jones thumbed Stipe in the eye

Donald Trump GIF by CBS News

I’ve hit the bag with my thumb sticking out and holy shit. It was like that numb funny bone feeling all the way up my arm and I couldn’t use my thumb for a couple weeks after.

Wiping your ass with the other hand is a bit of a learning curve.

This makes my point imo. His fist is hitting him in the face. While his thumb may be slightly out of position, it’s a closed hand. it’s not evidence of a blatant eye poke to anyone who isn’t a jones hater trying to find fault.

i dont think he would purposely miss with the fist, just enough that the thumb still got in there
its a legal strike

Jones is the Larry Holmes of MMA.

That is indeed a closed fist and legal strike.

I didn’t watch last night but there are a thousand more ugly examples of Jones poking.

And that ones not half as bad as Stipe’s intentional eyepokes in the third fight with DC.

I hate Jones as a person too. But this nitpicky crying is silly. Of the things people hate about him, the eyepokes are the only actually illegal thing. The standing Mir lock, the foot stomping, in some points in time the knee kicks…all legal things other people do and don’t win titles.

Jon is a cheater with the pokes and piece of shit but he’s also the best LHW of all time and he’s worlds better than Stipe ever was. Sometimes I hate this sport

He striking with a vertical fist! Between that, his eye-pokes, and his oblique kicks, Bruce would be proud!

Punch may have been a hook and not a straight punch. Have to see the sequence to be able to tell.

Legal technique. Those kicks. Stop being a fag.

Jones has probably done an eyepoke over a hundred times by now and never lost a point, doesnt even get a warning. Hes just allowed to eye poke, come in pulsing on roids, etc.

They change the gloves back so Jones could eye poke. Fuck Dana.

Jones was dirty, but people act like he wouldnt have won if he was clean. Just like Lance Armstrong half the other guys were on shit, thats why they didnt test them too like they did Lance.

Jones is very talented, has some Genetic gifts, and is axsmart fighter. He is a unicorn.

I may not like him as a person but I love watching him fight.

I’ve watched those but there are some YouTubers with big channels that do breakdowns that never mention it.

Henry Cejudo, Mighty Mouse, Jack Slack, Dan Hardy, so many guys that do breakdown videos.

I want to see one break down how Jones gets away with this shit.

The only person to ever mention it was Rampage in one short clip.

No one else seems to ever mention it and it’s crazy to me.
