Who did it best? Chuck “The Eyesman” Liddell, Jon “Pokes” Jones or Daniel Cornea?

[A.S. Deep]

Seems like a legit tactic and the results are proven. So who did it best?

LOL I love all the names. Daniel Cornea is the most creative. Well done, sir. Legit made my day.

you forgot , Stipe My-eye-chic

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Chuck is a p-eye-oneer in that field.

fixed.

Can we get a gif of that Asian guy shoving his fingers in Jake Matthews eyes? In the modern day UFC that was the worst I've ever seen.

This was vile and he should be thrown out of the UFC

[Dead Kennedy]

Jones, because he didn’t lube up and went in raw...

 

[regmma123]

Kevin Burns' eye pokes on Rumble were the most effective in a single fight

Mazzagatti somehow missed all of them and declared Burns the winner by TKO when he should've been DQd

THATS what a bad eye poke looks like

Not the bs people are saying Cormier did to Stipe

 

[YouKnowWhat?]

You don't need to poke people's eyes if you're on steroids. Wait, what did Jones use?

 

[CPH]

Why is DC even on the lidt? ...oh yeah: salty dummies who bet against him.

Chuck used to be the best at getting way with it. I think he used to throw punches with his thumb out so it looked more like a regular punch landed. It wasn't like Jones who would spearhand people in the eyes.

 

[TheLegionnary]

Yes

Jones revolutionized the eye poking game.

Yes, and even made fun of it on social media. Such a joke ...

Cormier I think. He's learned some solid eye poke techniques from the Jones fights, and his style of constantly attempting to clinch with one arm is perfect for delivering lots of "inadvertent" eye pokes.

Rooted for DC. Thought he would win. Didn’t think the eye poke affected the outcome.

But it did happen.

 

[Shaddows]

I would say Jon Jones.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

No mention of Gustapokingsson?

He’s an amateur. The guys I listed won titles with their technique.

Not saying it didn't, but accidental pokes are a real phenomenon, and I saw zero intent on DCs part.

Can't recall the first one, but the second one was clearly a clinch entry. Open finger gloves + two bodies in motion = shit happens.

How else do you propose he enters the clinch? With closed fingers?
All this whining about DC's pokes might be taken more seriously if he actually had a history of doing it. As it stands, it just comes across as sour grapes.
