5 longest winning streaks in UFC history

#3 Jon Jones – 6 years and 4 months, 13 fights

Jon Jones has beaten everyone at 205lbs

Former UFC Light-Heavyweight champ Jon Jones actually ties with two other fighters with a thirteen-fight winning streak, but as his run technically ended when the California State Athletic Commission changed his July 2017 win over Daniel Cormier into a No Contest due to Jones’s positive drug test, he comes in at #4 rather than any higher.

Ignoring his PED issues – which is hard, I know – Jones has essentially cleared out what used to be the UFC’s glamour division.

Name one of the top 205lbers of the last ten years aside from older names like Ortiz and Liddell, and they’re probably on Jones’s list of victims somewhere. Mauricio Rua, Ryan Bader, Rampage Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, the list goes on. ‘Bones’ has basically destroyed them all with his incredible offensive tools – a ridiculous reach, phenomenal grappling and some of the nastiest striking in the division.

Incredibly, had it not been for a refereeing gaffe, Jones would top this list with a seventeen-fight win streak over a period of just under nine years. Back in 2009 the future champion destroyed Matt Hamill, but found himself disqualified due to referee Steve Mazzagatti deciding the elbows that lead to the TKO were illegal downward ones.

It was the only blemish on Jones’s record until this summer, making him clearly one of the best fighters in MMA history.
