738



By Jaime C. Feal

For the first time Jon Jones looked really vulnerable in the cage. Jones was in a position no one had ever seen him in: Writhing in pain, his arm fully trapped in an armbar submission from his opponent. Jones was able to withstand the pain, refusing to tap, and powered out of the submission. That would be the closest Belfort would ever come to taking Jones’ title. Jones showed resilience and heart, silencing some of his critics, and cruised throughout the rest of the bout, until he locked up a kimura to submit Belfort in the fourth round. Also on the card, Demetrious Johnson scored an upset win over Joseph Benavidez to become the first ever UFC Flyweight Champion, and Michael Bisping outpointed Brian Stann in a matchup of middleweight contenders.
