American UFC lightweight Michael Johnson was named the greatest fighter in mixed martial arts history.

"It's hard to say that Jones isn't at the top of that list, considering how many champions he's beaten and all that kind of stuff. Khabib also sits at the top of the best fighters list, but I wouldn't put him at the top based on what level of opponents he's beaten. But those two guys are very close," Johnson said in an interview with Helen Yee.

In 2016 Johnson lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov by a painful takedown in the third round.
