When watching the sports section or comments on TV, or reading about them in the media, you always hear that some people are best in one thing, some are best in another and there are, of course, those that are simultaneously best at the same thing, which is impossible.

One thing I might want to add here. In spite of the fact that Jon Jones has one loss in the UFC, that misfortune stopped by disqualification from 12-6 unlawful elbows utilization in a battle against Matt Hamill which Jon was obviously winning.



Along these lines, when I talk about the longest series of wins in the UFC, enthusiasts of Jon like to make reference to that he is actually undefeated inside the Octagon with 20 back to back undefeated battles (not wins, as he has one NC against Daniel Cormier).
