Jon Jones

Biography

Jon Jones became the youngest UFC champion in history at 23, and then spent the next decade proving why that achievement was no fluke. His 27-1 record includes 11 title defenses at light heavyweight and victories over Daniel Cormier, Alexander Gustafsson, and Lyoto Machida. His style was revolutionary - the use of oblique kicks, spinning elbows, and unorthodox angles made him nearly impossible to prepare for. Off-fight controversies have clouded his legacy, but inside the cage, Jones has been untouchable. Now ruling the heavyweight division, he continues to build a case as the greatest mixed martial artist ever. Love him or hate him, his talent is undeniable.
