Reigning UFC light heavyweight champion and pound-for-pound great Jon Jones (19-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) heads to the UFC octagon for the 15th time as part of Saturday’s headlining act of UFC 172 at Maryland’s Baltimore Arena.

Aside for his previous fight against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165 this past September, Jones has done nothing but dominate during his UFC tenure and run as champion.

Gustafsson pushed the champ to the brink of defeat, and after looking mortal for the first time, Jones is eager to get back to his one-sided ways against dangerous top contender Glover Teixeira (22-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC).

Having turned professional just a little more than six years ago, Jones already has accomplished more than most will in a lifetime of competition. And at just 26 years old, it’s hardly farfetched to say “Bones” has yet to enter his physical and mental prime.

The New York native has openly discussed his desire to break all standing records in the light-heavyweight division, and, more importantly, go down as the greatest MMA fighter of all time. He’s well on his way to doing just that, but Teixeira is still an obstacle who stands in his way.

With another significant contest in Jones’ career just around the corner, there’s no better time to take a closer look at everything he’s achieved to date and what records are in store if his success continues beyond Saturday’s UFC 172 pay-per-view event.
