Given his recent track record in the UFC thus far, there is no telling how successful Jon Jones could become.
Following his win over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 128, most critics have predicted he will have a lengthy reign as champion, and that he will compete in a potential superfight with UFC Middleweight champion, Anderson Silva.
However, he is only 24 years-old and has a whole career ahead of him, one that seems as unpredictable as any. But Jones said when his career is over one day, he would like to be remembered for more than just his skill and dominance.
“When I’m grey and old I wanna be remembered as the fighter who was a god-fearing man, someone who was opinionated and not afraid to be himself,” Jones told FightersOnly.co.uk.
“I wanna be remembered as an all-time great who took his best days by the balls and made his own story.”
While presenting himself in a humble and respectful manner, the young champion has a lot to be grateful for, and fans have yet to see a dominant reign over the light heavyweight division since Chuck Liddell.
Jones could fill that void.
He will look to establish his legacy when he meets UFC veteran, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, at UFC 135.
