Morning Report: Demetrious Johnson weighs in on the GOAT debate: ‘Jon Jones has gotta be No. 1 for me’

Over the last few weeks, the question of who is the greatest MMA fight of all time has been dominating the MMA conversation. This latest round of arguments was kicked off by Khabib Nurmagomedov submitting Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 and announcing his retirement from the sport, leaving with a perfect 29-0 record. Khabib’s win prompted some to suggest he is the GOAT, to which Jon Jones took offense and argued vehemently against in favor of himself. Others chimed in and argued Jones could not be considered the GOAT because of his history failing USADA drug tests.
