‘Bon Gamin’ has a record of eleven victories and a single loss, while ‘Bones’ has earned 26 victories and a single loss. Their records are enough to prove what great fighters they are.

The return of ‘Bones’ for the heavyweight belt
Jon Jones is one of the greatest fighters in the history of the UFC’s light heavyweight division. He was a former two-time light heavyweight champion. He ruled the division as a champion for a long time. While his reign over the title was marred by turbulence in his life, his presence in the octagon was dominant.
Nonetheless, the 35-year-old fighter once admitted that he lost the zeal to fight as he became fearless. Now that he is going to face a new opponent after three years in a new division, Bones feels it will be quite challenging. Fans will have to wait a little longer to find out who is going to win the heavyweight belt.
