In anticipation of the biggest fight of his UFC career against Jon Jones, Rampage Jackson trained Bizar for Eye-Pokes during his Vechtkamp.
Jon Jones recently received a lot of criticism of continuing to postpone a potential heavyweight title -a battle against Tom Aspinall, so that fans label him a 'duck'.
With the constant delays, Aspinall has claimed that he is no longer interested in fighting Jones, which may lead to a different interim defense.
And with that thousands of fans started signing a petition to get 'bones' of his heavyweight title.

Rampage Jackson trained for Eye-Pokes prior to his fight against Jones
Although he has somewhat affected part of his estate in recent years, Jones will still go down as the greatest hunter of all time because of his praise and the names on his record.
Halfway through his career, the 37-year-old began to get a reputation as a dirty hunter. So much so that his former opponent Rampage Jackson called him 'the dirtiest hunter ever'.
Rampage Jackson explained how Jones' sloping kick on the knee he used is a dirty movement during his career, along with poking his opponents in the eyes.
Jackson has revealed that he trained for Eye-Pokes during his Vechtkamp prior to their UFC-Light Heavyweight Title Fight.
“Jon Jones' B-ASS (Picked my Eye),” he started explaining in his recent podcast episode.
“I came into the battle with an injury because we train for that-I fought against a man who was known to make an eye, so (I had to prepare myself). I brought in this long butt (training partner),” he continued.
“So you let the F – – you put in your eyes?” Henry Cejudo, who was the guest on his podcast, asked.
“In training? I tried to get from it, and he got me once, yes, I trained for it. Bro, I fought for the belt. I trained my ass for that fight against Jon Jones. I trained my ass, I was so confident that I would win everything.
“But where I frightened it, I didn't have a really long man with long limbs to do jiu-jitsu with … but he lit me, he fought me so (fingers),” Rampage continued.
Jones then entered Rampage Jackson in round four
As Jackson said, his biggest mistake was not fully prepared for 'bones' Jiu-Jitsu skills, and that led to a loss of submitting fourth round.
Unfortunately, the fan favorite lost his next two fights and then signed at Bellator, where he looked to get his career back on track.
