Jonny 'Bones' Jones - Profile of a Champion

retweetOn Saturday, March 19th 2011, at just 23 years old, Jonny 'Bones' Jones won a decisive victory over Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua, making him the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion (the youngest person ever to be a UFC champion). With a meteoric rise through the MMA rankings, Jones has been unstoppable, his only defeat coming by way of a disqualification during a fight in which he was completely dominant. His athleticism, explosiveness, creative fighting style have been the cause of much excitement in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. Indeed, watching Jonny 'Bones' fight leaves you with the feeling that you've just seen something extraordinary happen, whether it was the TKO of 'Shogun' Rua most recently, his guillotine chokeout of Ryan Bader, the way he threw Stephan Bonnar all over the octagon or his deadly elbow strikes against Brandon Vera; Jones is trully a very well-rounded, and gifted fighter. There's no doubt that Jon Jones will reign as the UFC Light

Jon Jones in the UFC

His fights so far

In late July of 2008, Jon was called in as a replacement for Tomasz Drwal to fight Andre Gusmao at UFC 87. Jonny 'Bones' Jones debuted in the UFC just 3 weeks later, winning by unanimous decision (the first time he'd gone a full 3 rounds). He then had a another win by unanimous decision after dominating Stephan Bonnar for 3 rounds at UFC 94. Following that Jones won his next fight by submission against Jake O'Brien at UFC 100 by way of a guillotine choke. His next fight against Matt Hamill ended with an unfortunate disqualification for a '12-6' elbow after doing very well for the first part of the fight. Jon racked up 3 more impressive wins over Brandon Vera, Vladimir Matyushenko and Ryan Bader.

Then on March 19th, Jones defeated the reigning Light Heavyweight Champion, Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua halfway through the 3rd round. The championship fight was a showcase of talent for Jon as he out-paced, out-struck, out-wrestled and just plain out-classed the champion. Now he will have a few months to rest before he starts training for his next fight against his training partner, 'Sugar' Rashad Evans. Jonny 'Bones' Jones is certainly an exciting fighter to watch, and part of what makes him so terrific is the fact that in each of his fights, he is remarkably better than in his last fight. Is there anyone in the 186-205 pound division can stop Jones? For now I don't see anyone who poses a threat, but there's always great new talent appearing in one of the most exciting divisions in fighting.

Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down - A Personal Review 

You must own this book

Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down: A Survival Guide to the Apocalypse

Amazon Price: $6.99 (as of 06/02/2012)Buy Now

Having already read the first offering from Forrest Griffin, titled "Got Fight?", I knew that this book was going to have to be pretty amazing to top it's predecessor. If you watched The Ultimate Fighter, then you know that Forrest is a funny guy (remember his ape impression?). Well that same sense of humor shows up in spades in his books. I didn't think it was possible to laugh even harder while reading a book, but Forrest's second offering had me in stitches. Seriously I would recommend this to anyone over the age of 14 (some of the humor would be unsuitable for younger readers), but this book is ridiculously good. I couldn't put it down and finished it in 3 days. Two enthusiastic thumbs up, perfect gift for anyone.
