Reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones reacted to promotion boss Dana White calling him the organization's best fighter and not Islam Makhachev.
"It was awesome to get that recognition from the boss, a man who's been here literally since the first UFC. I know the haters won't like his comment, but it's very hard to argue with Dana White. He's had a front row seat my entire career, and facts are facts. Let me get this straight - in an absolutely wild fight, you bounce back for a last-minute sub-match win and that makes you the best?", Jones asked. "Does an injury suddenly take away all the merit and skill? Just wondering. I started fighting when Islam was still in school," Jones wrote on social media.
