#3 Jon Jones
Daniel Cormier’s greatest adversary, Jon Jones, is often put at a higher position by many, simply because he is arguably the best to ever contend inside the UFC’s octagon.
Jones has been contending in the game of MMA since 2008, and is a previous UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion. Nickamed as ‘Bones’, Jon Jones possesses a combat skill like no other in this sport.
A superb comprehension of timing and distance administration, combine to form the lethal striking force behind Jones. And, besides his combat skill, the UFC fighter also brags an exceptionally specialized comprehension in the grappling domain of MMA.
Dominance By Numbers
One of the reasons as to why, ‘Bones’ is considered as the greatest UFC fighters of all time is because of his mind boggling numbers at the young age of 28.
In a total of 24 fights, Jon Jones has won 22 fights of which 9 have come by knockout, while others have been either by submission or decision. This is the true mark of an all round fighter and if he continues to fight this way, then these numbers would be even more impressive than they are now.
At present, Jon Jones is suspended from MMA, owing to a failed drug test in a fight against Daniel Cormier which he won by knockout. His return is imminent and UFC fans hope that Jones will steer clear of drugs and display his true talent to further stamp his authority as the greatest UFC fighters of all time.
