Jon Jones is a professional mixed martial artist with a record of 26-1-1. Competing in the UFC, Jones is considered to be one of the GOATs of the sport. While his off the octagon actions make it difficult, his accolades in the sport are hard to overlook. Raised in Rochester, New York, Jones has held the Light-Heavyweight belt twice.
In 2011, when he beat Mauricio Rua, Jones (age 23) became the youngest world champion in the history of the UFC. He went on to defend the title for a record eight times. The one loss that is recorded in his career is due to the controversial “12-6” elbow rule. Hence, most of the MMA community and even president Dana White referred to Jones as undefeated. In 2021, speaking to ESPN, White said that they are still working on overturning that loss -
“The guy’s (Jon Jones) never lost a fight ever. That one loss on his record, we’re trying to get that overturned, It was at a time and a place in the Nevada State Athletic Commission when it was at its worst. It was the weakest commission ever in the history of Nevada, and the referee that reffed that fight shouldn’t have even been in there, and he disqualified Jon, which shouldn’t have happened either. So, hopefully, we can get that done.”
Currently, Jones is in the process of completing his move to the heavyweight division. He vacated his Light Heavyweight belt in 2020. However, it seems like fans must wait to see Jones back in the Octagon as he and the UFC are in a pay dispute. His last bout was a highly disputed unanimous decision win against Dominick Reyes in 2020 at UFC 247.
