Bisping: "Many people think Khabib is the greatest, but it's not"

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping explained why he considers the greatest fighter in history John Jones, not Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“The greatest fighter in the history of mixed martial arts, the UFC and humanity is back! Yes, I know many will say that number one is Khabib. But no, it is not, and I know that this is a bold opinion.

Khabib is one of the best. But Jones ruthlessly ruled the light heavyweight division for generations. Destroyed legend after legend, challenger after challenger. And then he said that he finished his work there and moved up to heavyweight,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel.

We will remind, the other day the head of the UFC Dana white said that Jon Jones is ready to return. In his next fight, he may face Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou.

Jones, 34, has not entered the octagon since February 2020, when he defeated Dominic Reyes on points. Later, the American left the belt vacant due to disagreements with the leadership of the organization.
