Jon Jones let everyone know exactly how good he is this past Saturday at UFC 145 against Rashad Evans.
He’s by far the most unstoppable force in the UFC today, demonstrating an ungodly reach that frequently supplements his dangerous striking that seems to drastically improve every time he sets foot inside the cage.
Following his recent destruction of Evans, who many people considered the only contender who possessed the chance to knock off the 24-year-old, Jones is now set to fight Dan Henderson sometime later this year.
Considering the UFC has Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen and Georges St-Pierre vs. Carlos Condit already hashed out—as well as needing a date for Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber—the next time we see “Bones” in the Octagon may not be until four or five months from now, subsequently making it his last bout in 2012.
If Jones defeats the aging Henderson, he’ll arguably become the most decorated light heavyweight champion in UFC history, making potential fight matchups in 2013 that more interesting.
Here are the top five fighters we could see Jon Jones face off with next year.
