UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones has been on a tear since his debut, and he hasn’t missed a step since. The 23-year-old phenom stormed onto the scene collecting his first three wins in dominating fashion, and despite losing to Matt Hamill via disqualification, many fans and pundits would agree he technically won that bout as well.
However, it was his win over light heavyweight Brandon Vera that intrigued and fascinated fans, generating a lot of support as he began to challenge for the light heavyweight title. A couple more wins would follow, and Jones was granted the opportunity to challenge for the title and he was successful.
Now at the young age of 23, Jones sits atop of the light heavyweight division, and it appears that he will reign for quite some time. After disposing such skilled fighters as Ryan Bader, Stephan Bonnar and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, one begs the question if anyone is superior to Jones.
In this slideshow, we’ll take a look at the potential fighters who pose a threat to the champion and could potentially defeat him.
