Jon Jones continues to assert himself as the top pound-for-pound fighter in MMA today. In doing so, he’s getting closer and closer to becoming the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in MMA history.
On Saturday, Bones took care of business against Glover Teixeira. The champion roughed the Brazilian up in the clinch and mixed things up with multiple takedowns as well.
Now having earned seven consecutive title defenses, Jones has a longer UFC reign than any current champion with the promotion. The light heavyweight titleholder is also only three wins away from tying Anderson Silva’s UFC record.
