Jon Jones back on top as MMA's unquestioned greatest of all time

LAS VEGAS — In the last 15 months, Amanda Nunes, who was widely acclaimed as the greatest women’s mixed martial artist ever, lost her championship. On Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 285 at T-Mobile Arena, Valentina Shevchenko, who is clearly the greatest flyweight of all time, was submitted and lost her championship to Alexa Grasso.

In August, Kamaru Usman, who was the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, was knocked out in the waning seconds of his fight and lost his welterweight title.

The point is, in mixed martial arts, anything can happen at any time.
