There may be a "Jon Jones curse" in the UFC light heavyweight division, as shown by a crazy figure.
MMA legend Jon Jones is the UFC heavyweight champion. Jones ruled light-heavyweight for years until winning the heavyweight title this year.@OvinVithanage's social media statistic proves Jon Jones' odd 205-pound curse. The post notes that all opponents except Daniel Cormier, whom Jones has fought after losing the light heavyweight title in 2015, have suffered career setbacks.Since fighting Jones, Ovince Saint Preux has gone 7-9, three-time light heavyweight championship contender Alexander Gustafsson 3-6, Anthony Smith 4-4, Thiago Santos 1-4-1, and Dominick Reyes 0-3. Jon Jones' pro record is 27-1 with one NC. He lost to Matt Hammil in The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale in 2009 due to illegal elbows.
The American's fire remains even after winning the heavyweight gold. He will defend his title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295.
Four title defences make Miocic one of the UFC's most dominant heavyweights. The 40-year-old has defeated former two-division champion Daniel Cormier and former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
