Jon Jones

 Jonathan Dwight Jones, a professional mixed martial artist from the United States was born on 19 July, 1987. He is currently signed with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) which is where he fights in the division of light heavyweight. Jones was a past UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. He was the champion from March 2011 until April 15, 2015. The title was also held from December 2018 until August 2020. Jones was also the interim UFC Light Heavyweight Champion from the year 2016. Jones also held the interim UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in the year 2016. Jones holds a number of UFC records that include titles, wins, defenses, and the longest streak of winning in lightweight heavyweight. Jones was widely regarded as the top pound-for-pound fighter on the planet throughout his reign as a champion. Jones has not been stopped or outclassed throughout his career. The only loss he suffered in professional competition was an unpopular disqualification of Matt Hamill. This result is one that Dana White and Hamill disagree over. Between 2015 and 2017, Jones was involved with numerous controversy, and lost his title three more times as a result of disciplinary actions. After being detained in 2015 for felony hit and run charges Jones was then stripped of his title. Then, he was removed from the official UFC rankings. In titles fights against Ovince St Preux as well as Daniel Cormier in 2016, and 2017, he came out triumphant. But the two subsequent UFC fights were canceled after Jones was found to be positive for banned substances, and was further suspended. The second was reverted to the status of a "no contest". Jones took home the title in 2018 by defeating Alexander Gustafsson after his 2017 suspension was lifted. Jones decided to give his title up in 2020 because of an argument with White. Jones also announced his desire to advance to heavyweight.
