Exploring Mason Jones' MMA career across Cage Warriors and the UFC

Mason Jones made a splash in Cage Warriors back in 2020, capturing the lightweight and welterweight titles, taking his record to a perfect 10-0.

He was then signed to the UFC and suffered his first career loss to Mike Davis. His next bout ended in a no-contest after an accidental eye-poke against Alan Patrick. The Welshman then secured his first UFC win, beating David Onama by unanimous decision, but lost his next outing against Ľudovít Klein, and subsequently left the promotion.

Returning to Cage Warriors, Jones found his form again with TKO victories over Alexandre Ribeiro in Italy, Yann Liasse in Ireland, and Bryce Logan in the United States. In his most recent outing, 'The Dragon' beat Michael Pagani via unanimous decision in July last year in Manchester, England.

His record currently stands at 15-2 (1 NC).
