‘Undefeated’ UFC Legend Jon Jones Is 0–2 Against This Shocking WWE Name Who Has Never Won the WWE Championship

It is a rare occasion when two stars from different sports face off against each other. And if these two sports are combat sports, then the excitement is high. But before they were famous two stars went head-to-head in a state wrestling championship match. One was the ‘Undefeated’ mixed martial artist Jon Jones and his opponent was a former WWE tag team champion. This happened when they both were in high school. And the surprising thing is, Jones was actually defeated by the now WWE star not once but twice.

Who got the better of Jon Jones before his UFC success?

During their high school days, both Jones and WWE star Riddle were a part of their school wrestling team. Both Jones and Riddle were wrestling standouts of their school, considered to be the best. However, the now-undefeated UFC champion was not able to win against the now WWE talent. Riddle was able to defeat Jones twice in the New York State Wrestling Championship.

According to Riddle, the fact that Jon was not on any kind of performance-enhancing drugs may have helped him secure that victory. He also said that Jones’ family was extremely kind to him. A little-known fact is Matt Riddle later on went to become The New York State Wrestling Champion in 2004.
