Heralding heavyweight champion, Jon Jones as the greatest fighter of all-time as well as the best fighter in the promotion at the moment following his UFC 309 win, CEO, Dana White has labelled the rankings panel as “clowns” after the Rochester native remains number two in the official pound-for-pound rankings this week.
Jones, who headlined UFC 309 over the course of last weekend, managed to turn in his first defense of the heavyweight crown, taking on former two-time titleholder, Stipe Miocic in the pair’s grudge match at Madison Square Garden.
And successfully defending his heavyweight crown for the first time, Jones made lightwork of former champion, Miocic, turning in a dominant third round win, courtesy of a highlight-reel spinning back-kick knockout to the body, folding the former over.
