Since entering the sport of mixed martial arts at barely 20-years-old, Jon Jones has dominated nearly every opponent that’s come his way.

Jones’ dominance continued when he made his UFC debut against Andre Gusmão at UFC 87 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Jones defeated Gusmão via Unanimous Decision and went on to win his next two fights before being disqualified against Matt Hamill at the Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweight Finale.

Despite the loss, Jones went on to defeat Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in a Light Heavyweight title fight and became the youngest champion in UFC history.

After defending his title in the main event at UFC 135, UFC fans across the globe began to ask, who is the man to dethrone “Bones” Jones?

Well, that man could very well be Dan Henderson.

Henderson, who recently returned to the UFC will square off with Rua at UFC 139 in San Jose, California.

With the Rashad Evans injury still up in the air, there’s a chance the winner of Henderson vs. Rua could be next in line for a title fight if Jones were to defeat Lyoto Machida at UFC 140.

Henderson brings a whole new threat to Jones as he is arguably the hardest hitter in the 205-pound weight class.

“Hendo” is also one of the best wrestling mixed martial artists in the UFC today as he is a former Gold Medalist in Men’s Greco-Roman Wrestling.

The former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champion could be the biggest threat to Jon Jones’ title.
