Undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is, undoubtedly, one of the best fighters to have ever graced the Octagon, but ‘The Eagle’ believes Jon Jones is the pound-for-pound king and deserves his spot at the top of the UFC rankings.
Nurmagomedov might be undefeated at 28-0, but ‘Bones’, the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion, was the youngest champion in UFC history and has defended his title ten times, beating a who’s who of contenders from 2011 all the way up until the present day.
Jones’ career hasn’t been without controversy, however, as the JacksonWink product has failed multiple drug tests and been stripped of the light heavyweight title on three separate occasions.
