Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Trevin Jones (born August 4, 1990) is an American-born mixed martial artist from the U.S. Territory of Guam, who competes in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Jones started his MMA career when he first enrolled in an amateur fight after just six months of jujitsu. Originally from New Orleans, he moved with his family to the island of Guam when he was 13 to be closer to his uncle who was serving in the Marine Corps.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

With his first pro fight in Pacific Xtreme Combat in 2011 against homegrown fighter Kyle Aguon, Jones fought all off his early career for the PXC promotion, during that time fighting Aguon two more times, taking a loss before beating him out for the Bantamweight belt in 2016.[3]

After winning the belt, Jones had fought challengers from around the world, fighting for organizations such as ACA and Japanese DEEP. During this time, he had a pair of split decision losses against Rodrigo Praia and Young Jin Hwang, results that Jones hotly contests, after which he won by guillotine choke against Mehdi Baidulaev at ACA 91 and rear-naked against Japanese veteran Takafumi Otsuka at Deep: 89 Impact.[3][4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Jones, as a replacement for Mark Striegl on two days notice, faced Timur Valiev on August 22, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Munhoz vs. Edgar.[5] Jones won the fight via TKO in the second round, completing a comeback after almost getting finished in the first round.[6] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[7] On October 7, it was announced that the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) issued a four and a half month suspension for Trevin Jones, after he tested positive for marijuana in a drug test related to his fight. They also announced that Jones' victory was overturned to a no contest due to the violation. He was fined $1,800 and before he is relicensed in Las Vegas, Jones will also have to pay a prosecution fee of $145.36.[8]

Jones was expected to face Randy Costa on March 6, 2021 at UFC 259.[9][10] However, Costa withdrew from the bout in mid-February citing injury and was replaced by Mario Bautista.[11][12] He won the fight via technical knockout in round two.[13]

Jones was scheduled to face Tony Kelley on July 24, 2021 at UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw.[14][15] However on July 4, Kelly withdrew from the bout due to unknown reasons.[16][17] As a result, Jones was scheduled to face Aaron Phillips.[17] However on July 18, Phillips had to withdraw from the bout and Jones was moved to UFC on ESPN: Hall vs. Strickland on July 30, 2021 against Ronnie Lawrence.[18] In turn, the bout was cancelled when Lawrence failed to show up for the weigh-ins due to health concerns.[19]

Jones, as a replacement for Jesse Strader, was scheduled to face Mana Martinez at UFC on ESPN: Cannonier vs. Gastelum on August 21, 2021.[20] In turn, Martinez pulled out of the fight and was replaced by Saidyokub Kakhramonov.[21] Jones lost the fight via technical submission due to a guillotine choke in round three.[22]

Jones was scheduled to face Raoni Barcelos on December 18, 2021 at UFC Fight Night 199.[23] However Jones withdrew from the fight for undisclosed reasons and he was replaced by Victor Henry.[24]
