Justin Jones

Overview

Two UFC fights, two trips to the scorecards, two losses. Justin Jones is an orthodox middleweight from San Diego with a 0-2 UFC record and a 9-2-0 professional record across all promotions. He has not been finished in the UFC. He has not won there yet either.

UFC Career

Jones appeared on the card of UFC 181: Hendricks vs Lawler II, where he lost a unanimous decision to Corey Anderson after three full rounds. His second UFC fight came at UFC Fight Night: Mendes vs Lamas, and the result was the same: a unanimous decision loss to Ron Stallings, going the distance in round 3.

He carries a two-fight losing streak into his next fight. Both defeats were on the scorecards.

Fighting Style

Justin Jones is a low-output striker. He lands fewer strikes than most UFC fighters and isn't especially accurate with the ones he throws.

He also gets hit less than most, so the damage hasn't piled up even though his output is light. Taken together, the stats point to fights that stay quiet on the feet.

Wrestling and grappling aren't where he makes his living. He rarely shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt for submissions. When opponents do take him down, he stays there more than most, which leaves him exposed once a fight hits the mat.

Both of his UFC fights went the distance, and both ended in decision losses. That lines up with a fighter who neither lands much nor absorbs much.
