Former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson named ex-organization light heavyweight champion Jon Jones the best fighter in MMA history. Johnson noted that Bones managed to outperform his top rivals even when he wasn’t really preparing and was using drugs and alcohol.

“Khabib? If he continued to fight and had, say, 5-7 successful title defenses, then I would definitely put him next to Jon...” Johnson said.
