UFC Champion Jones Names the Strongest Puncher He Ever Faced in His Career

UFC heavyweight champion and former light heavyweight champion, American Jon Jones, has named the best puncher he has faced inside the octagon.

Jon Jones
The hardest punch I ever received was from a guy named ‘Suga’ Rashad Evans. He caught me with an overhand right, the same exact punch he hit Chuck Liddell with and dropped him; he caught me with that same punch. It wasn’t that he hit me so hard, it was the speed of the punch. He hit me so fast and I had no clue what it was. He just caught me right at the edge of my chin, and I remember my feet were to a point where I couldn’t control my legs. Then I refocused, and I was able to stand again, but bro, that was by far the fastest I’ve ever been hit. And thank God I didn’t become unconscious because I probably should have been.

It’s worth mentioning that the fight between Jones and Evans took place in April 2012 at UFC 145, ending with Jones winning by unanimous decision.

Jones last entered the octagon in November 2024 at UFC 309, where he defeated Stipe Miocic by technical knockout in the third round. He boasts a record of 28 wins and one loss, with one fight declared a no contest.
