Jones, the youngest UFC champion in history, entered the organization after fighting professionally for only four months. He is currently ranked as the number one light heavyweight fighter in the world by numerous media outlets, as well as one of the top ten pound-for-pound fighters. He also has the longest reach in UFC history at 84.5 in. At UFC 128, Jones defeated Mauricio Rua by TKO at 2:37 of Round 3 to become the youngest UFC champion ever. After an early flying knee that badly hurt the champion, Shogun was dominated throughout the 3 rounds. A body shot and knee to the head dropped the champion, causing the referee to swiftly step in and halt the bout. Jones initially trained with Team BombSquad out of Cortland, New York, then briefly with the Tristar Gym in Montreal, Canada and most recently at Jackson's MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
