What I mean is the eye will "clear up" and not be a problem as soon as Jon Jones puts ink down on paper.

...has a problem with an eye injury, but he should duck DC to fight the only fighter in the UFC who is MORE notorious for eye pokes?

He's reformed. Jones hasn't poked anyone in quite a while. The refs specifically enforced on him the rules. With face to face time outside of the Octagon. After the media started to ask questions that applied a lot of pressure.

D.C. slipped through the cracks and is actively doing it.

Also, Jones pokes are well-known. He's subject to scrutiny and referee awareness on the issue. Whereas D.C. is not subject to any more scrutiny than any fighter would normally get for jabbing with fingers, which is about 0. Not to mention the risk of a loss to D.C. the fact he permanently damaged his eye is extra salt and even more reason to avoid a rematch.

Whos eyes were permanently damaged by Jon Jones? Doesn't seem like there are any victims. You take the Jones fight.

I'd further argue the style of Jones eye pokes are less invasive than what D.C. does. Jones is more known for pawing/raking, and D.C. goes for deliberate jabbing which is really dangerous. The fact he permanently damaged someone is evidence of that difference.

Midnight Mania! Woodley Blasts Rogan For Adesanya ‘Excuses’

Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!

www.mmamania.com

Woodley: “Funny how no one got into Rogan’s ear piece, and let him know he broke the record for least amount of strikes thrown in a title fight. No sh*tting on their prime donna. Just excuses and exceptions. How convenient.”

he's got a point, everyone is hating on yoel for not engaging (ufc), israel was complicit as well, even tho woodley is all butthurt about being boring.

This is so fucking stupid. How could anyone have beef with the Zombie or his translator? None of this shit makes actual sense.

Captain Suave · Mar 12, 2020

Ortega is basically a surrogate Gracie. Gracies have been ego-driven thugs since the beginning. I say this as a guy with 10 years in the BJJ community whose first teacher spent decades with Royce, Rickson, and Rolls.

“My whole face is bruised but … there’s no more swelling on my head,” Jedrzejczyk said. “It’s more on my face, and like my neck. It’s going down, but it’s much better.”

“I scheduled surgery in Poland with the best plastic surgeon, so it’s all good. On Monday, I’ll have a small medical procedure on my ear and the swelling will go down and I will be ready to rock and roll.”

jesus fuck

I honestly believe the onus is on the challenger. They're the ones saying "i'm coming to get the belt". The champion is already on top of the hill and will remain there until someone comes to knock them off.

Imagine if the UFC didn't have the Reebok deal in place right now. A lot of sponsorship money out there right now I'd imagine.

if they do hold fights in the apex center, the ring will look like a nascar driver.
