Leading up to his first title defense of 2020, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones believes he should be considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

Appearing on ESPN's First Take, Bones compared his overall body of work to undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov:

"I think Khabib's an amazing fighter. He's done a great job representing UFC. He's a great ambassador for our sport. But if you were to ask some MMA experts about myself and Khabib, I think most people would be able to tell our resumes are completely different.
