5 MMA fighters that are monster heels like Braun Strowman

The Strongman beast is here to stay

#4 Jon Jones

Fall from grace for UFC’s MVP

Jon Jones is one of the exemplaries when it comes to fighting inside the Octagon. With a stellar 22-1 record to his name, Jones is a two-time former Light Heavyweight Champion and is regarded as one of the greatest fighters to have graced the sport of mixed martial arts.

However, controversies have often marred his dominant prowess in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Jones was indefinitely stripped of his Light Heavyweight title in 2015, after he was involved in a hit-and-run case.

A year later, he was scheduled to face Daniel Cormier in a rematch, which never transpired because Jones tested positive for two banned substances, only a few days prior to UFC 200 (where they were supposed to clash) and is now facing a year’s suspension.

He was stripped of the interim title as well, making him the first fighter to have been stripped of the title on more than one occasion! There are numerous other controversies that have dotted Jones’ MMA career, including allegations of spewing homophobic slurs, testing positive for cocaine and the feud with Cormier leading up to their match, which involved Jones pressing his forehead against Cormier during a staredown!

Phew, Jones is a top-draw heel for sure if he decides to put pen to paper with the WWE in the near future!
