Jon Jones took another step toward greatness at UFC 159.
In beating Chael Sonnen, Jones defended his UFC title for a fifth consecutive time, which tied him with Tito Ortiz for the light heavyweight record. At only 25 years old, Jones’ name is already alongside or above some of the best ever in the UFC history books.

With UFC 159 in the books and UFC on FX 8 ahead, let’s take a look at the latest official UFC rankings.
