In its own weird way, Jon Jones breaking Georges St-Pierre’s record on Saturday for most title match wins was strangely apropos.
Jones’ 14th win in bouts where the title was at stake – without any losses – broke one of the least talked about but most significant records in UFC history. St-Pierre had 13, but also had two losses, once to Matt Hughes when he was on his way up, and the other to Matt Serra in one of the biggest upsets in UFC championship history, which he decisively avenged.
Jones broke the record in a fight that many thought he lost.
