Jon Jones has a lot of problems with the adoration being shown to Khabib Nurmagomedov in the wake of his victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254.
While the former UFC light heavyweight champion praised Nurmagomedov following the announcement that he was retiring from the sport, Jones later took aim at the undefeated Russian after he began vying for the top spot in the UFC’s pound-for-pound rankings.
In fact, Nurmagomedov made a very public plea during his retirement speech that he wanted to earn that No. 1 ranking after moving his record to 29-0 while only losing two total rounds during his entire UFC career.
