In a recent interview with the Thiccc Boy channel, on YouTube, the former light heavyweight champion Quinton Rampage Jackson stated that Jon Jones fights dirty and recalled some passages from the confrontation between the two.
“He’s the dirtiest fighter, really. They had to change the rules because of him. When I fought him, every time I had some kind of advantage, he would put his fingers in my eye,” he accused. Rampage.
Jon Jones e Quinton Rampage Jackson They faced each other in September 2011, in the main fight of UFC 135. On that occasion, “Bones” won via rear naked choke submission in the fourth round and defended the light heavyweight title for the first time.
According to a Rampage, the issue of fingers in the eyes due to Jones was so clear that he even tried to prepare for it during training for the fight, but he didn't have much success.
“It’s hard to train for this. He would put his fingers in my eyes and every time I moved forward he would kick my knee back. This should be illegal. Every time I had the advantage, his hand was there. He put his finger in my eyes once or twice during the fight, but in my training camp I had already injured my eye because someone put their finger in it during training. We were already trying to train for this shit. You can't train for that. So I was already f*****”, he said. Rampage.
At 43, Rampage last saw action in December 2019 when he was knocked out by Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator 237.
