Jon Jones is shining like Leroy Green from “The Last Dragon.”
The reigning UFC light heavyweight champion capped off an already historic year with a submission victory over former champion Lyoto Machida at UFC 141.
With the win, Jones now finds himself in the middle of a pound-for-pound debate, which also includes all-time greats Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre.
In 2011 alone, Jones has defeated three former world champions and MMA legends in Shogun, Machida, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
The light heavyweight division, which was once considered the most stacked weight class in the entire sport, is now running on fumes thanks to Jones’ dominance.
Has the young lion done enough to overtake the pound-for-pound rankings?
Also, the pound-for-pound list will never be the same again as it welcomes its first ever female addition to the rankings.
