UFC CEO Dana White revealed on Lex Friedman's podcast who he considers the greatest fighter in mixed martial arts history.

In the functionary's opinion, that title belongs to former dominant welterweight champion and current titleholder in the promotion's heavyweight division, Jon Jones.

"No one can argue about who is the greatest fighter of all time. It's absolutely Jon Jones. He's never been beaten in the octagon, ever.

I think Khabib had the potential to claim that status, but he left early. First of all, he had injuries. If not for them, he would have achieved everything much earlier. But there is no doubt: Khabib is one of the best in history," said the functionary.
