Thiago Santos Thiago Santos came close to beating Jones at UFC 239, but after the split decision loss, he was never the same fighter. Santos, after that fight, failed to make his mark in the UFC.
Dominick Reyes Dominick Reyes was a talented fighter, but against Jon Jones, his skillset fell short. After his title loss against Jones at UFC 247, Reyes failed to make a comeback.
Alexander Gustafsson Even after giving Jon Jones one of the toughest fights of his life, in the second fight, Alexander Gustafsson failed miserably. The fighter lost the fight via a vicious KO, and after that, he never went up in the rankings.
Maurício Rua Maurcio Rua and Jon Jones crossed paths way back in 2011, but after their fight, Rua was never the same. He became inconsistent with his wins and was never able to gain winning momentum.
