It can be argued that Jon “Bones” Jones is the
greatest of all time. Some still have Anderson
Silva in that spot, but with a quick review of
their records, it’s undeniable that Jon Jones has
defeated a lot more big names than Silva has.
He is currently scheduled for his ninth title de-
fense and it may be one of the biggest fights the
UFC has ever put on. Jon Jones will be defend-
ing his title next against the former Olympian
Daniel Cormier. On paper, this is a great fight:
both men more or less undefeated, Cormier
coming down from heavyweight. There are a lot
of story lines involved, but nothing more com-
pelling than their very real personal disdain for
each other. A photo opportunity turned brawl,
an ESPN interview turned verbal war, and every-
thing else that followed. Even on the off chance
that this is Jones’ only fight of the year, it will
still generate serious numbers for the UFC.
