He won the championship belt for the light heavyweight fighters and then, later, he won the belt for the even bigger heavyweight fighters! He was like a superhero with two amazing powers.

Youngest Ever Champion!

Jon Jones became a champion when he was only 23 years old. That's younger than most people even finish high school! He beat a really tough fighter to get his first big belt. He was so fast and smart in the ring, it was like watching a chess game played at super-speed. He won so many fights in a row, it was a record!
