The UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is preparing himself for his next title defense against Stipe Miocic, on November 11 at UFC 295, which takes place in Madison Square Garden in New York.
Jon Jones has been one of the most dominant fighters in the history of the octagon. Jon had been on a long layoff since his last bout against Ciryl Gane, submitting him to grab the heavyweight title.
The UFC president, Dana White, believes Jon Jones is the best fighter of all time. Although Jones is considered one of the greatest fighters, Dana claims that Jones does not get enough credit.
Despite an outstanding record of 27-1, Dana White thinks the heavyweight champion will only be appreciated once he retires, although Jones has defended his title multiple times in his career.
In an interview in Hotboxin with Mike Tyson, Dana had his views clear on the heavyweight champion. “I mean the guy is the best. He’s the best, he’s the greatest in all of combat sports."
"I don’t think the people give him enough credit. The guy is undefeated, he’s never lost in MMA, went right through f**king murderer’s row, at light heavyweight as a young f**king guy" Dana added.
In a series of questions, Dana was asked about Jones being crazy, to which Dana claimed that all fighters are crazy and Jones is unique regardless of the things he did; he still fights brilliantly.
As Jones will step inside the octagon against Miocic at UFC 295, Jones also hinted at his retirement, but the UFC president still believes in the opportunities that await the heavyweight champion.
