Coach was ‘surprised’ Jon Jones didn’t win unanimous decision over Thiago Santos at UFC 239

Jon Jones’ coach Brandon Gibson thought Jones’ fight with Thiago Santos at UFC 239 was more one-sided than the final scorecards might have shown it to be.

Jones went all five rounds with Santos in the main event of UFC 239, and although one judge scored the fight 48-47 in favour of Santos, the two other judges though ‘Bones’ did enough to get the split decision win over “Marreta.”

Talking to MMA Fighting earlier this week, Jones’ longtime coach Gibson gave his thoughts on the decision and believed that Jones was in control throughout the fight.
