When it comes to his performance in the Octagon, nobody can match Jon Jones's career.
In 2011, Jones became the youngest champion of the promotion ever at UFC 128 before he produced one of the most impressive title line of all time.
For all his remarkable performance, 'Bones' has been affected with various setbacks that invoice in his estate, even if he is considered by many to be the greatest of all time.
The constant saga between him and Tom Aspinall has created a lot of frustration with some fans who called Jones to be stripped of the heavyweight title.
Dana White has been very vocal in the past about having one of the few points against Jones from the plate, although this still has to happen.

Jon Jones sees two parties for one loss on his file that was caused by a disqualification
In December 2009, Jon Jones entered the Octagon and for the first and only time he was not lifted his hand.
In his fourth UFC fight, where he met with Matt Hamill, the game ended in the first round after 'Bones' was disqualified for landing illegal elbows.
The 12-6 elbow, that is when a hunter brings his elbow straight up before he brings it down again (with 12-6 that refers to a clock face), was made legal last year after years of debate around this specific strike.

In an appearance on the Deepcut -Podcast, Jones stated that, although he is for the rule, he is not sure whether that means that his only defeat must be destroyed.
He can understand why Dana White would like this to happen, but he also understands that the result was a legitimate disqualification at the time, regardless of whether the rule is still in the game today.
“The promoter in me says that I have to be removed from my file in this way, I could really be put on the market as an undefeated hunter. But the athlete in me knows that rules are rules, and the moment I was disqualified, 12-6 elbows were illegal. So the rule broke, and I paid the costs.”
Matt Hamill would rather continue talking about his victory over Jon Jones
Matt Hamill met him in the Octagon in 2009, is still the only man who had a victory over Jon Jones all those years later.
During an appearance at the Ariel Helwani show earlier this year, the former hunter spoke about how he would like to continue with the outcome of this fight after the legalization of the 12-6 elbow.
“We still have unfinished things, you know, but Jon Jones wants to destroy one loss. I don't think it will happen because it will happen because [of] All the past.
“So it doesn't really affect me, but the way in which Jon Jones has always mentioned my name for the past 12 years, I am like come on, let's go on, but everyone goes,” Hamill, you defeated Jon Jones, he lost you. “
Hamill, who was the first deaf hunter who participated in the Octagon, recently revealed that with the help of a new hearing aid he could hear for the first time in his life.
