Jon “Bones” Jones has once again won the UFC light heavyweight championship.
On Saturday, at UFC 214, Jones knocked out Daniel Cormier to win back the championship he never lost.
After landing a devastating head kick, Jones dropped Cormier and followed it with punches on the ground until the referee stepped in and stopped the fight.
In 2015, Jones was stripped of the light heavyweight championship due to actions outside of the cage. In 2016, Jones won an interim title but was stripped of that after he tested positive for banned substances. Now, Jones is a UFC champion for the third time.
Many of the best fighters in the world were watching as Jones reclaimed his spot among the top of the UFC 205-pound division.
Below, you can see what fighters had to say about Jones winning the title and being the first fighter to finish Cormier.
Both @JonnyBones and @dc_mma are so emotionally invested in this fight. I think the loser will definitely need some counselling ??#ufc214
