The results of UFC 126 this Saturday confirm my belief that Anderson Silva of Brazil and Jon Jones of the USA are the two most dominant MMA fighters today.

That was a month and a half ago. Last night Jon Jones further confirmed my estimation of him by completely demolishing the #1 ranked Light Heavyweight MMA fighter Shogun aka Mauricio Rua and taking his Championship Belt. He is now the youngest Champion in UFC history:

Consider the star born.

Jon Jones handed Mauricio “Shogun” Rua a savage beating in the UFC 128 headliner, as he captured the light heavyweight championship in a third-round technical knockout on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Beaten almost beyond recognition, the great Rua finally wilted 2:37 into round three.

“It feels so good,” said Jones, who, at 23, became the youngest UFC champion in history.

Shogun never had a chance. Jones secured his first takedown inside the first 30 seconds and patiently brutalized the Brazilian with punches and elbows. Rua stood near the cage, ate a knee to the body, a shin to the face and punches to the head. He wobbled forward and was never the same. Jones landed one of his patented spinning back elbows to open round two, caught an attempted leg kick and drove Rua to the ground, where elbows and punches to the head and body greeted the battered and broken champion. So complete was Jones’ dominance that he attempted a kneebar on the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt near the end of the period.

At the start of round three, it was clear Shogun had little left in the tank. He swooped in for a leg lock, only to wind up on his back. There, he was at the mercy of the challenger. Shogun returned to a standing position, as Jones backed him into the cage and cracked him with a mean left hook to the body that put him down for good. With that, Jones’ ascent was complete.
