Analysis

Mason Jones lost to MarQuel Mederos, stopped by second-round TKO on August 22, 2026, in his most recent fight. The Welshman remains one of only two two-division champions in Cage Warriors history alongside Conor McGregor, with a professional record of 18 wins, 3 losses and a no contest.

Born on April 26, 1995, in Abergavenny, Wales, Mason Jones began his fighting career in professional boxing, where he went unbeaten through three fights, before turning to MMA. He made his amateur debut at 16 under the Grapple and Strike banner, then turned professional on October 28, 2017, with a submission win over Shaun Luther. He trains at Celtic Pride MMA and holds black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and kickboxing, a background that explains the variety of his wins across striking, submission and decision.

Cage Warriors and UFC Career

Mason Jones built his reputation at Cage Warriors, where he became lightweight champion by beating Joe McColgan in March 2020, before capturing the welterweight title against Adam Proctor in September 2020, becoming the promotion’s second two-division champion after Conor McGregor. The UFC signed him shortly after. He lost a decision to Mike Davis in January 2021, then had a no contest against Alan Patrick in June 2021 due to an accidental eye poke, followed by a decision win over David Onama in October 2021. A decision loss to Ľudovít Klein in July 2022 preceded his return to Cage Warriors, where he strung together several wins through 2024. The UFC re-signed him in February 2025: he beat Jeremy Stephens by decision in May 2025, then Bolaji Oki by TKO in September 2025, and Axel Sola by decision in March 2026. That last fight earned him a $100,000 Fight of the Night bonus. His run ended against MarQuel Mederos, stopped by second-round TKO on August 22, 2026.

Fighting Style

Mason Jones combines a background as an unbeaten professional boxer with black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and kickboxing, which lets him vary his finishes. Of his 18 professional wins, 8 came by KO or TKO, 3 by submission and 7 by decision, a balanced split that reflects no clear weakness in his game. He has twice earned a Fight of the Night bonus in the UFC, against Mike Davis and then Axel Sola, along with a Performance of the Night bonus against Bolaji Oki, proof of his ability to deliver exciting fights at this level.
