Jon Jones is 17-0 in UFC title fights

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

Lost to Dominick Reyes

 

[Xoleth]

Shogun - he looked like Jones' smaller brother or like a WW before cutting

Rampage - he was actually 1-2 before Jon, beating Matt Hamill

Machida - see Shogun, it looked like one weight class difference

Rashad - same

Vitor - same

Chael - same

Alex - the first big guy in Jones's title defenses. Very, very close fight, could have gone either way. I call it a draw.

Glover - eye pokes and nice decision

DC - no comment! Too short to get into Jones' range, but no comment, top fighter.

OSP - jesusfuckingchrist, when you cannot finish OSP and you hug him for 25 minutes, you have a problem.

DC - overturned because something about PEDs, but it's not like PEDs help you, this is why many fighter risk taking them

Gus - actually the dead corpse of Gus

Smith - a big guy actually. Another big guy that Jones couldn't finish. And Smith was just asking to be finished. It's fucking funny because if Smith was more like Aljo, he could have been a champ. But no!

Santos - another big guy, a decision. Very, very close fight. I had it a draw.

Reyes - one of the biggest robberies in a title fight.

Gane - Gane is a fighter that UFC put to the top by giving him only strikers. No ground game, very one dimensional. Great striking though.

Now, call me a hater, but every time when Jones fought a guy his own size at LHW (Gus, Glover, Smith, Santos, Reyes, Smith), he couldn't finish him and actually had a very close fight (Gus, Santos, Reyes) or a very boring fight by holding them there (OSP, Glover, Smith)

His own size = the new generation of LHWs that weren't small MWs to today's standards.

For example - Shogun was smaller than Luke (leaving aside the body fat percentage). And Luke looked smaller at LHW vs Jan.

 

[RonDante]

He’s 0-1 against Brazilian former paratroopers and 0-1 against Mexicans.
0-2 against usada if you care about that
2-0 against Brazilians who he had a 20 pound weight advantage over
2-0 against legends years past their prime

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Jones is the only champ with so many asterisks. For God’s sake, even juicing is not enough for that guy. He fucking pokes his opponents in the eye.
GSP is the true GOAT.

Cry that shit elsewhere. Nope, nevermind. This is the right place. Chael is 1483900732-0 according to these morons.

 

[Rationality]

How could a guy duck so many fighters and still win 16 or 17 straight title fights?
It defies imagination.

 

[CombatCyborg]

That's nice, Lance Armstrong won the Tour 7 times but he's not even on the record books anymore. One day Jon's record will get wiped too like many fans already acknowledge he deserves.

 

[wolfss]

If you don’t look at all the ped use he sure does look like he would be the best eva.

 

[Simple Southerner]

One of the goats period when will people accept it.

 

[MCDojoMMA]

No he's not, he hasn't even had 17 UFC title fights. He's 14-0-1. Ovince St Preux was an interim fight that he got stripped of anyway for steroids, and one of his DC fights became a NC after he got busted for steroids.

Why so mad? Did he hit you with a car too?

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Another interesting fact.
Every single fight he has been in since his fight against Shogun in 2011 has been a title fight (or interim)
Imagine all these hungry top contenders wanting to fight for the belt, having all Jones' available tapes to study etc

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

0-1 vs. Cop Car Hoods
0-1 vs. Hit and Runs
28-15* vs. Drug Tests

1-0 vs. Baby Momma

* = Updated via more information.

1-0 vs pregnant women

Calling an obvious cheater a cheater is crying now huh. Get his balls out of your mouth and think rationally.

 

[DelanoRunnymede]

He is the most naturally gifted, but also the most technically skilled fighter in history. Insane combination and will probably never be beaten. By every possible metric he is the best but the multiple failed tests make it hard to give him his due credit. You’d have to be very gullible to believe he never knowingly took PEDs and for that reason GSP GOAT (special mention Mighty Mouse)

 

[1King]

GSP is the true GOAT.

You can’t be the GOAT at fighting if there are people that would beat you in a fight. Jon is just one of many who would beat him.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Jon Jones is too good to be true kinda fighter, that he was bound to make mistakes and be flawed.

 

[pamirec]

You can’t be the GOAT at fighting if there are people that would beat you in a fight. Jon is just one of many who would beat him.

Since when does GOAT mean you beat everybody regardless of the weight? Am I missing something?

 

[BigOlJeet]

He still won the fights. You might as well say he's not undefeated because Hamill beat him back in 2009.

If you really want to be pedantic, you can still correctly say he's had 16 straight title fights across multiple weight classes and hasn't lost a single one of them.

Well, nuthugger excuses aside he really isn’t undefeated whether you want to accept it or not, loss is a loss. He wasn’t allowed to cheat and get away with shit back then so he lost. Now he can juice and cheat his way to the top, so this “goat” crap next to his name has a huge asterisk.

 

[Elvis.]

It’s really a shame he has the drug test failures on his resume, his ability is obviously unquestionable but it’s going to be a stain on his legacy

 

[krelianx]

On paper, the GOAT, but unfortunately cheating is a big deal. Most fights under USADA saw a significant decline in performance against not the best competition he had faced: OSP was unimpressive, Santos was a toss up, Reyes was a shoddy decision, and Smith was a pretty stale performance...
