Mason Jones is a Welsh lightweight who made history as a two-division Cage Warriors champion before reaching the UFC. A former national-team judoka with black belts in judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and kickboxing, he fights at a frantic pace, throwing nearly six significant strikes a minute while mixing in constant takedown attempts. After a rocky first UFC stint, he rebuilt on the regional scene and returned a more polished fighter. He rides a seven-fight winning streak into Sacramento (his record also includes one no contest) and took Fight of the Night honors in his March win over Axel Sola.
