Cruising to a win over Glover Teixeira at UFC 172, Jon Jones made his case to be considered the best fighter in MMA today. The light heavyweight champion also took another big step toward becoming the greatest fighter in MMA history.
With seven consecutive title defenses, Jones has a longer UFC championship reign than any other current champion. At 26 years old, he’s also only three wins away from tying Anderson Silva’s record for most consecutive title defenses in UFC history.
The next step is clear for Jones: He’ll meet Alexander Gustafsson in a rematch of their classic battle in September 2013.
Here are the matchups that could be next for the rest of the UFC 172 competitors.
