The 5 Biggest Flops in UFC History

#1 Jon Jones

Jones is arguably the most gifted fighter in UFC history

The former light heavyweight champion is probably the most gifted fighter in UFC history. Sadly, we’ll never how great he could’ve been.

Jones is very likely going to be given a four-year suspension for his most recent drug test failure, effectively ending his career in the UFC.

While injuries have held Velasquez back, it’s Jones himself who’s been his biggest stumbling block

Before he went off the skids, Jones was very active. He defended his light heavyweight title a record eight times in a reign that spanned four years.

‘Bones’ has won two light heavyweight titles and an interim 205 title, but he’s lost all three outside of the cage.

The UFC relinquished him of his light heavyweight belt due to a hit-and-run felony, and he was stripped of his other two titles due to pre-fight drug tests.

If Jones had stayed out of trouble, it’s astonishing to think what he could have accomplished. He may have already been a dual champion at 205 and heavyweight.

There’s a good chance he would have followed in McGregor’s footsteps and dabbled in boxing. A showdown between Jones and Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder would have been something.

The loser in this debacle is not just Jones and the UFC but the fans as well.
