People often talk about who is the “best ever” in any sport, whether they’re at work or with friends.
After Jon Jones knocked out Stipe Miocic with an amazing spinning kick at UFC 309, there’s no more debate about who is the greatest fighter right now.
With that big win, Jones has beaten nine past UFC champions, including Miocic and Daniel Cormier, who are known as two of the best heavyweights ever. He’s also defeated six UFC Hall of Famers. It’s easy to see why people now call him the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) in MMA. Jon Jones has fought and beaten almost every top fighter in the Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions, except for Francis Ngannou.

Jon Jones Achieves GOAT Status in MMA
“Hey, hurt him with the first kick, this guy’s fight IQ is off the charts, and now can everybody admit now that this guy is the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world,” Dana White said at UFC 309 post fight press conference.
“He’s going to be 38 years old this summer and he looked incredible. I just don’t know how any of you don’t see that this guy is the fucking world’s greatest fighter in the history of fucking people fighting.”
