Jon “Bones” Jones was destined to be one of the greatest fighters the moment he stepped inside the Octagon.  At only 20 years of age he was an absolute monster of a man for the 205lb division.  Standing 6’4″ tall and having a seven foot wingspan, it was clear that he was a top tier athlete and once he learned the game of MMA he would become an unstoppable force.   This held true as “Bones” stormed through the light-heavy weight division to become the youngest UFC champion in history much like “Iron Mike” did in Boxing.
