Jon Jones would rather be remembered as a ‘bad motherf*cker’ than ‘the GOAT’

Jon Jones doesn’t put all that much weight behind the ever-present greatest of all-time debate in mixed martial arts, but he does know what he wants to be remembered as when all is said and done with the sport.

Speaking at Thursday’s UFC 232 conference call, the former UFC light heavyweight champion said that he hopes fans will herald him as a “bad motherf*cker” when they look back on his career.

Ahead of his rematch with Alexander Gustafsson next weekend in Las Vegas, “Bones” insisted that the discussion surrounding GOAT status is more of a popularity contest than an overview of athletes’ achievements.
