Undefeated UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev expressed the opinion that the best fighter in the history of mixed martial arts is the former champion of the promotion in the light heavyweight division John Jones.
“I'm a big Jon Jones fan. Of course, for me, he is the best fighter of all time. Nobody compares to him, he defeated many guys, real monsters. In all my training sessions, I work with Alexander Gustafsson and I know how good he is. If he managed to stop this guy, then it's really scary.
Jones was up against incredible fighters with knockout power and good wrestling. These guys were perfect in every way. You know how Daniel Cormier puts pressure, how good wrestling and boxing he has. He has such a mentality that he puts pressure and kills opponents, but Jones stopped this guy too, ”Chimaev said on The Triple C and Schmo Show podcast.
