Daniel Cormier ranked Jon Jones above Khabib and Conor McGregor in the ranking of the best fighters in UFC history.

“I've said this before: when he beat me the second time, I was in my best shape, and if he could beat me then, it means no one can beat him. He has great height, long arms, excellent knees and elbows. We once discussed boxing with him, and he said that if we fought only under boxing rules, it would be a much tougher fight. In terms of skill, perhaps Khabib was also good, and Conor McGregor at his peak, but Jones is something special,” Cormier said on the Nightcap channel on YouTube.
