BALTIMORE - Jon Jones punished Glover Teixeira for five rounds and won a unanimous decision Saturday night at UFC 172, successfully defending his light heavyweight championship for the seventh straight time.
Jones (20-1) won 50-45 on all three scorecards and rolled to his 11th straight victory, the longest streak among active UFC fighters.
Jones had the Baltimore crowd roaring when he opened his pre-fight walk with the ``squirrel'' dance Ray Lewis made famous. The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker had a cageside seat and stood several times to cheer for Jones. Chandler Jones and Arthur Jones, his NFL-playing brothers, also attended. Arthur Jones, who plays for the Colts, was a Super Bowl champion with Lewis and the Ravens.
Teixeira (22-3) ended a 20-bout winning streak that dates nine years.
