Those who have followed the UFC career of Jon Jones since the beginning know that his lone career loss comes with an asterisk.
In Jones’ fourth Octagon appearance, he suffered a disqualification loss to Matt Hamill at “The Ultimate Fighter 10” finale after landing a series of illegal 12-to-6 elbows on his opponent. Steve Mazzagatti was the referee in the fight, and it’s a ruling that still irks UFC president Dana White to this day.
“You have to understand for the people that don’t know, this was during a time when the Nevada State Athletic Commission was very weak and there was a referee in there that stopped the fight and called Jones the loser in that fight. A fight he was dominating and should have been finished. Instead of disqualifying Jones, they should have stopped the fight. Jones right now really should be 27-0.”
“That fight should have been stopped, it should have been over, and Jones should be 27-0,” White said. “I fought hard to get that one taken off his record but I haven’t been able to get it done.
