‘He’s the Dirtiest Fighter’- Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson Says Jon Jones Poked Him Illegally Multiple Times

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion, Quinton Jackson recently appeared at the Thicc Boy Podcast. Among many things discussed was one of Jackson’s old opponents and the former UFC light-heavyweight king, Jon Jones. ‘Rampage’ thinks Jones is one of the dirtiest fighters in the UFC.

“He’s like the dirtiest fighter, he’s the dirtiest fighter,” said Jackson. “They had to change the rule because of him. When I fought him, whenever I was like have any type of advantage, he’ll put his fingers in my eyes,” he added.

“Your eyeball is your weakest thing in your body. So, when I was fighting him, he was like this the whole time. It’s hard to train for this too,” he said further.

“He poked me in the eye and then when you come in and advance, he kick your knee backwards. They should make that illegal,” Jackson added.

Jackson and Jones fought in UFC 135 in 2011. Many believe Jackson, being the vicious striker that he is, would give Jones some problems that the latter hadn’t yet faced in his young career. However, that wasn’t the case, as ‘Bones’ completely dominated one of the scariest fighters in the UFC roster in that fight.

When can fans see Jon Jones back in action?

Jones hasn’t fought for over a year as his last appearance inside the Octagon was a title defense against Dominick Reyes at UFC 247. Fans are in anticipation of seeing the consensus greatest UFC fighter of all time back in action.

A super-fight against the current UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is something that fans have been wanting to see for a while now. However, contract negotiations between the fighters and the UFC have taken a hit on multiple occasions, as all parties involved are yet to come to terms.
