Jon Jones def. Thiago Santos via split decision (48-47, 47-48, 48-47). That was tense. Santos nearly stole this one with ONE LEG. #UFC239

Jon Jones retains via split decision. One of Jones' closest calls, and he's had a lot, between Gustafsson, and broken off toes and such

Thiago Santos becomes the first fighter to take a scorecard over Jon Jones. #UFC239

Wow. Jon Jones retains his title via split decision. That was an intriguing fight. Would've been interesting to see what would've happened had it not been for what seemed to be a knee injury suffered by Santos. Jones is also limping after the fight. #UFC239

Santos fought an amazing fight. Much props to him.

Got to give both men credit. Santos, despite being hurt, remained strong for five rounds and continued to throw big shots. And Jones stood with Santos for five rounds when he likely could've taken the fight to the ground. #UFC239

Jon Jones wins a split-decision. Explains after that he played it smart out of concern for Thiago Santos' power. So smart he honestly could have lost on the scorecards. That was closer than a lot of us expected, to say the least.

Crazy that Santos gave Jones the biggest scare of his career. That was a compelling fight no matter how you scored it. Methodical, curious, oddly hard to figure out. Even momentum had trouble picking a side.

That was the first split decision of Jon Jones' career. Thiago Santos was the first person to win a scorecard against Jones.

Thiago Santos is a warrior. Zero Fs given. What a shame that his knee went out like that. #UFC239
