In the 2004 NY State Wrestling tournament, Matt Riddle took 1st place while Jon Jones took 3rd:

It's the same Jon Jones - he went to Union-Endicott and was a Jr. that year:

Basically, the only logical thing to assume here is that Matt Riddle > Jon Jones.

Jones needs to stop ducking Riddle.

tight, do you know what weight it was at? now they fight in very diff weight classes

n/m i figured it out - 189 - interesting

arthur jones also competed in the tournament at 275
 
This just proves Jones has been ducking fights for nearly a Decade.

Goodwork TS
 
Nice find

I wonder what John Sullivan is doing now...

haha. I remember he wrestled at UPenn for a little. Didnt do too great. Riddle and Sullivan were both seniors at this point. Jones won it the next year.
 
Interesting stuff man.
So Jones was a good wrestler,not the best.
 
Going to bars on fight nights and bragging to women, I'd imagine.

As far as I know Jones high school career wasn't very impressive, lots of guys probably have wins over him from wrestling back then
