When it comes to where he stands in the hallowed halls of MMA, Jon Jones doesn’t see much room for interpretation.
The 31-year-old UFC star has been the subject of much controversy in recent years, with various legal problems and multiple run-ins with the United States Anti-Doping Agency casting a shroud over his sterling in-cage accomplishments. Jones has never been truly defeated (the lone loss on his 24-fight record came as via disqualification in a bout opposite Matt Hamill back in 2009), but he has lost years of his career to two separate drug tests, the latter costing him a second win over rival Daniel Cormier and a second reign as the UFC’s undisputed light heavyweight champion.
