Jones recovered an elderly woman's belongings after chasing down a mugger on the same day that he became the youngest champion in UFC history.

Jones went on to knockout Rua and win the light-heavyweight title at just 23-years-old, a UFC record that is yet to be broken. "As the guy pulls us up in his car, he's like 'Listen guys, this is a pretty bad neighbourhood so you might want to be careful, a lot of people getting mugged here.' Just as he said that, I pull off my seatbelt and I see an old Spanish couple screaming. Jones was scheduled to face MMA legend Shogun Rua for the light-heavyweight title in 2011, but little did 'Bones' know that he would be getting into another scuffle on the same day as the biggest fight of his life.

Penn and Randy Couture as the eighth multi-weight UFC champion. -- Derek Brunson (+170) vs. -- Jon Jones (-195) vs. This time around he opened as a slight favourite over Jones but that line quickly swung in Jones's direction. Jones was roughly -300 chalk in his rematch with Alexander Gustafsson, approximately -700 facing Anthony Smith, -500 versus Thiago Santos, and longer than -400 against Reyes in a fight he won on the judges’ scorecards, but not the public’s. The only issue with that if you’re leaning towards or cheering for Gane? Jones landed an average of 4.30 significant strikes per minute at 57 per cent efficiency in the 205-pound division; he absorbed 2.22 significant strikes per minutes with 64 per cent defence. The 32-year-old from France knocked out former heavyweight champ Junior dos Santos, won five-round main event unanimous decisions over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov, and earned an interim title by stopping Derrick Lewis in 2021. Alexander Volkanovski’s and Valentina Shevchenko were the only champions that didn't lose whilst Jones was away. Cormier later went on to become heavyweight champ, but how Jones does in his new weight class will be a mystery until he and Gane clash. He became champion in his seventh UFC bout and over the years accumulated multiple divisional and organizational records on his journey to becoming the No. 1-ranked heavyweight in the sport and undisputed defending UFC champion at the time of his release.

Farid Basharat refused to pull out of his fight on The Contender Series and he ended up earning his UFC contract with an injury he later learned was ...

“I was moving around with Javid — and this is funny actually, it was Wednesday and Javid was doing his stuff in the cage at the P.I. I would if I could but my arm is just giving out, it’s too painful.’ He goes, ‘No, you’re just being a wuss!’ Then a couple of weeks later, I get an MRI. I said, ‘OK, let me just get my weight down first.’ I got on the treadmill for an hour, ran, and then I went to the P.I. “I did a crazy long warmup, and then even in Round 1, it was still sore. Afterward, Basharat immediately shifted his attention towards his brother Javid, who was already competing in the UFC with his next fight booked just a few days later. Then he kind of takes me down and I could have posted out but I just fell on my back. “Not for a second did I think I was going to pull out of the fight,” Basharat said. There was no way in hell I was going to get rejected from achieving my goal, from achieving my dream of getting that contract. “I was worried about how I’m going to make weight. And then on my first spar back, it was that spar — I was doing great, it’s the first round and I get taken down, and as I post out, my arm just locks up completely and just cracks. Originally signed to debut on Contender Series this past July, Basharat was pulled from his scheduled appearance after his opponent William Souza failed to make weight and the bout was scrapped. Because I had a multitude of different issues — a chest infection, and I couldn’t spar for a while.
