Jon Jones has been a force to reckon with inside the Octagon. The former UFC light heavyweight champion was never officially defeated inside the octagon. This only loss was through a disqualification. Even after stepping in with some of the most skilled fighters on the UFC roster, Jones came out victorious every time.

Despite him being one of the greatest inside the Octagon, his career has never been short of controversies. ‘Bones’ has seen the dark part of the sport very closely. Right from getting stripped off his title to failed USADA tests. However, one person who had his back in these dreaded times was UFC’s most famed commentator, Joe Rogan.
