Jon Jones is without a doubt one of the greatest mixed martial artists in the history of the sport. Born in Rochester, New York in 1987, Jones started training in martial arts from a young age due to his mother being a professional instructor. He began his professional MMA career in 2008, where he quickly made a name for himself with his unorthodox fighting style and versatility. Jones eventually signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2009 and went on to dominate the light heavyweight division for nearly a decade until his numerous legal troubles and drug test failures eventually caused him to relinquish his title. Despite his controversies outside of the octagon, Jon Jones' achievements inside it are undeniable. Jones has a professional record of 26 wins, 1 loss, and 1 no contest, with victories over some of the biggest names in MMA, such as Daniel Cormier, Alexander Gustafsson, and Mauricio Rua. He is a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and has defended his title a record 8 times. Jones is also known for his athletic ability, having set multiple records for takedowns, strikes landed, and submission attempts in UFC history. He is considered by many as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of all time and has inspired a generation of MMA athletes with his incredible performances.
