UFC 135 results: Jon Jones defeats Quinton "Rampage" Jackson via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:14 of round 4.

Jones used his enormous reach advantage to dictate 100% of the fight. Poor Quinton's only offense of the first round was a medium feeble knee to the body. This after taking an array of shots from Jones: elbows, front kicks, an variety of punches, jabs, hooks and knees. It was almost sad to see the legendarily fearsome Jackson acting like a mouse trapped in a cage with a snake. 

In the fourth round, Jones finally poured it on and went for the kill early enough in the round to go for a finish. The fatal choke followed shortly thereafter.
