Mason Jones Shows Heart in Thrilling Comeback Victory at UFC Paris

Dramatic Comeback Victory in Paris

Mason Jones secured a remarkable victory at UFC Paris, finishing Bolaji Oki with a torrent of elbows in the second round after an impressive display that included a beautiful, high-amplitude throw before mounting his opponent for the stoppage.

Early Adversity and Turnaround

The fight began with intense action as Oki had Jones reeling early after landing a combination near the cage. However, ‘The Dragon’ quickly turned the tide, connecting with a powerful right hand that sent Oki stumbling backwards. Jones unleashed a barrage of elbows, though Oki initially weathered the storm.

The decisive moment came two minutes into the second round when Jones violently slammed Oki to the canvas and moved into full mount. From there, Jones delivered a series of devastating elbows, forcing the referee to intervene and stop the fight.

Career Renaissance

This victory extends Jones’s impressive winning streak to five fights. His journey back to the UFC has been remarkable, having left the promotion in 2022 to compile four victories in Cage Warriors before returning to defeat Jeremy Stephens in May.

Future Prospects

Following his successful return to the UFC fold with consecutive victories, Jones, at just 30 years old and riding a six-fight winning streak, appears poised to showcase the best version of himself inside the Octagon. In his post-fight interview, Jones has already called for a spot on the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Qatar on November 22.
