Jon Jones vowed to return to his dominant ways against Glover Teixeira in the UFC 172 main event. And with a one-sided decision victory over the challenger, he did just that. Jones (20-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) had many questioning him after a highly competitive fight with Alexander Gustafsson this past September, but he showed why he’s considered the sport’s top pound-for-pound fighter with a clean sweep on the judge’s scorecards against Teixeira (22-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC).
