Demetrious Johnson Says Jon Jones Is The G.O.A.T. After Beating Ciryl Gane

Who’s the best MMA fighter ever??

Demetrious Johnson, who’s definitely in the discussion, says it’s a difficult concern to address since “we’ve all done amazing things in this sport of mixed martial arts.” But, required to address, Mighty Mouse says it’s the freshly crowned heavyweight champ Jon Jones … following his taking apart of Ciryl Gane at UFC 285.

“I’ve had the longest consecutive title defense, and I’ve also had 14 world title fight wins. I believe he’s at 15 [straight] now. You look at GSP. I think he took four years off and he fought in 2013 against Johny Hendricks. Then he came back in 2017 and beat Michael Bisping, who was a champion. You look at Anderson Silva, we’ve all done amazing things in mixed martial arts.”

The previous long time UFC champ turned ONE Championship champ informed us he “always felt” Jon was the G.O.A.T., and really thinks he might’ve beaten 247 pound. Gane without gaining any weight.

“Jon Jones, what he did to Gane Saturday night, I mean, he took him down and choked him out. I truly believe he could’ve done that at 205 [lbs.]”

“The something that separates those men from me, those men have actually increased and completed and won a world champion in a various weight class, where I have not.

“Henry Cejudo‘s done it, Jon’s done it, Randy Couture‘s done it, the list just goes on and on of all the guys who have done it, and that’s one thing I haven’t done.”

Fighters like Couture, Georges St-Pierre, and Khabib have actually all retired, so they’re done contributing to their resumes. But, Mighty Mouse isn’t. He’s still quite battling with ONE, and he’s got a huge battle showing up.

DJ’s battling Adriano Moraes on May 5 … among the very best ONE matches. The men have actually battled two times formerly, with each guy winning as soon as.
