Jon Jones still has some work to do to catch Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre in terms of UFC title defenses, but the light heavyweight champion continued to close that gap with a win over Chael Sonnen at UFC 159 on Saturday.
Even with a badly broken toe, Jones breezed through Sonnen and finished the fight with ground-and-pound in the final minute of the opening round.
In beating Sonnen, Jones defended his 205-pound belt for a fifth consecutive time, tying Tito Ortiz for the UFC light heavyweight record. At only 25 years old, Jones is already cementing himself among the greatest fighters in MMA history.
Following Saturday’s fights, let’s see where Jones stands among the pound-for-pound best in the UFC today.
