Jackson: Jones is the dirtiest fighter in MMA

Quinton Jackson

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson explained why he considers another ex-title holder John Jones the dirtiest fighter in mixed martial arts.

“Jones is a great fighter, but even if he were here now, I would still say that he is the dirtiest fighter. If you are in a duel, he will poke you in the eye. If you go ahead and seize the initiative, he will hit you in the knee.

I believe that this kick to the knee, when they hit you right on the kneecap, should be prohibited. My knee is still injured because he beat it off. Such techniques can end a person's career. Remember all those twisted elbows he used to do. where did they go? In the back of the head. It's against the rules. Jones is the dirtiest fighter," Jackson told talkSPORT.

Recall that back in 2011, John defeated Jackson by choke in the fourth round.
