Syracuse Orange: Jon Jones cements himself as GOAT at UFC 239

The debate is over Jon Jones is the GOAT (Greatest of All-Time) after his record-breaking performance vs Thiago Santos at UFC 239.

His dominance has been prevalent throughout Jones’ mixed martial arts career that officially started back in 2008 when he made his UFC debut.

Fast-forward less than three years later, Jon Jones became the youngest UFC champion in history with his defeat of UFC legend Shogun Rua.

Since that point, “Bones” Jones has defended his title 13 times in totality, 14 if you count a dominant win over rival Daniel Cormier back in 2017.
