Dana White calls UFC 172 performance Jones’ ‘Best ever’

“I think it was the best performance of his career,” White said in the post-fight press conference about the 26-year old Jones. “Obviously Las Vegas didn’t give Glover Teixeira the respect that he deserved as a 6-to-1 dog. Jones, I think that if he didn’t prove it in the [Alexander] Gustafsson fight, he definitely proved it in this fight — Jones has a chin. He evolves every time he fights, he comes out and puts on a clinic and does new things.
“But I also thought leading up to this fight, Jones was different also. He just seems to be…he was the youngest light heavyweight champion ever, but he’s becoming a man right in front of everybody. He’s growing up in and outside of the Octagon, and I thought he’s never looked better than he did tonight.”
