"When it first happened, I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought: 'An accidental eye poke.' But when I rewatched the fight, I realized what was happening. He was trying to poke me in the eyes throughout the round. In several instances, in each exchange where I could have put him in a dangerous position, he kept his fingers pointed at my eyes.
The guy was cheating from the first second. He wanted to win the fight by making me vulnerable using dirty tactics. I consider him a big cheater. Watch all his fights. Even Jon Jones himself, who is the greatest at these things of all, said that Ciryl Gane is a fraud and uses dirty tactics."
