Jon Jones is one of the most notorious mixed martial artists in history. Jon Jones is highly regarded as the Greatest of all time in the UFC due to his spectacular fighting prowess. However, Jon Jones is not free of criticism. Throughout Jon Bones Jones' lengthy UFC career, he has drawn controversy after controversy. Jon Jones began his pro-MMA career in 2008, leveraging his college wrestling and jiu-jitsu background to begin a strong win streak, knocking out Brad Bernard, knocking out Carlos Eduardo, submitting Anthony Pina, finishing Ryan Verett, knocking out Parker Porter, and finally submitting Moyses Gabin to become the USKBA Light Heavyweight Champion. This fight earned Jon Jones a UFC contract, making his debut at UFC 87 and defeating Andre Gusmao, then defeating Stephan Bonnar at UFC 94, and submitting Jake O'Brien at UFC 100. Unfortunately for Jon Jones, he was disqualified in his next fight against Matt Hamill for throwing downward 12 to 6 elbows. This would be the only loss on Jon Jones' record as he would finish Brandon Vera, Vladimir Matyushenko, Ryan Bader, and ultimately Mauricio Shogun Rua to become the youngest champion in UFC history. JOn Jones then began gathering his title defenses, submitting Quinton Rampage Jackson, submitting Lyoto Machida, defeating Rashad Evans, submitting Vitor Belfort, and finishing Chael Sonnen. Jon Jones then had his controversial UFC 165 bout against Alexander Gustafsson where in this five round war, Jon Jones won a unanimous decision. Shortly After Jon defeated both Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira, Jones defeated bitter rival Daniel Cormier at UFC 182, but Jones was stripped of his title due to violating the code of conduct UFC policy after crashing his car into a pregnant woman and leaving the scene. Jones would return at UFC 197 against Ovince Saint Preux and defeated him to win the interim light heavyweight championship. Jones then earned his rematch to now-champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 214, where JOnes successfully head kicked Daniel Cormier to knock out his rival, but Jones did not win the title due to testing positive for banned substances. Jones won the vacant light heavyweight UFC title at UFC 232 by finishing Gustafsson, but then had 3 lackluster performances against Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos, and controversially Dominick Reyes. Jones then waited 3 years to return to the UFC at heavyweight where at UFC 285 he choked out Ciryl Gane to become the UFC heavyweight champion. Jon Jones then fought Stipe Miocic in November, 2024 to cement himself as one of the greatest fighters ever. He would easily be considered the greatest of all time if it weren't for the questions surrounding his steroid use.
