Turns out that Jon Jones is a goon, he read this thread and it has made him realise the error of his ways. His eye-pokes were accidental, but he admits that he could have prevented them and will endeavour to fight with a greater respect for his opponents in future.
He explains it very succinctly in this video:

I don't know if you can credibly play "u mad bro?" after you're caught internet-stalking a random Swedish teenager for insulting you on twitter, but it is a good effort.

I mean I don't care about the shoulder crank thing but knowingly and repeatedly trying to rake your opponents eyes isn't really something people just 'complain' about and it's just an expression of the fact that well known and well liked fighters basically can ignore the rules because whatever bald white guy is reffing the fight is just going to yell 'hey close your hands last warning!' ninety times while Jon Jones jams his french manicured bitchtalons into his opponent's eyes. Jose Aldo was literally airborne and holding onto the fence like a looney tune and the ref saw fit to punish him by making a strange animal grunt at him.

It is UFC/Pride stars Mark Coleman and Kevin Randleman, both of whom were highly successful, accomplished collegiate wrestlers, having the most gassy, awful and ineffectual wrestling sparring because they are both 900 years old, not on steroids anymore and evidently had been sparring for upwards of four minutes prior to that video being taken.

acejackson42 posted:

I think the whole Chael-Wanderlei thing comes down to this - these are two guys who are actually good friends outside of the camera and are pranking each other relentlessly leading up to their fight, taking nothing seriously along the way, knowing everyone will believe everything as real because of the TV. TV never ever lies or is set up to look fake. Ever.

Meanwhile, one of them gets hurt legitimately in training. Christ knows which one actually, because for all we know the one hurt is the one calling out the other. Both parties act butthurt as hell all the way. Finally the fight happens.

And then they grapple the poo poo out of each other to a five-round split decision. Huzzah. Both make millions upon millions in PPV revenue from crazy Brazilians and racist rednecks expecting to see a murder on behalf of their guy.

Edit: I base this all on Wand apparently being one of the nicest guys on the planet and Chael making it his personal business to be as entertaining as possible outside of the cage. Completely scientific analysis.

You are very wrong.

JON JONES APOLOGIST #3
So what are some other fights he's had where "Jon Jones' eye rakes" are a thing? I don't remember it being an issue with him in previous fights, but then again I haven't seen all of them. It'll be a good excuse to actually use UFC Fight Pass, if nothing else.

He tried it against Gus but got punched in the face due to Gus' reach being about the same. But he's done it in all his fights to various degrees.

Here are some gifs I found...

Shogun
Rampage
Gus
Rashad
Machida

He likes to use his reach to rake his fingers over a fighters face as they come forward which leads to a lot of eye pokes (unless you're Rampage, in which case he's going to eyepoke you just because).

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
He literally rakes peoples eyes and/or threatens too in all his fights and abuses his stupid gangly arms. He is a big piece of poo poo who completely flusters peoples stand up game by cheating. If you want fight pass recommendations for fights where he does this, type in Jon Jones into the search bar.
