However, when it comes to being the greatest in the history of MMA, Demetrious Johnson leaves it to the MMA community to decide his spot. Speaking to TMZ Sports, the former UFC flyweight gave his take on where he ranks himself in the GOAT conversation:
Jon Jones is the greatest of all time: Demetrious Johnson
Demetrious Johnson believes Jon Jones might be the greatest combat athlete in the world. DJ is not certain if any athlete, including fighters from Asian promotions, could present a challenge to the former UFC light heavyweight champion.
Johnson believes ‘Bones’ is endowed with genetic gifts, such as reach and flexibility, that allow him to toy with his opponents:
Jon Jones is expected to make the leap to heavyweight next. If so, Johnson believes Jon Jones will recommence his dominance in the 265-lbs bracket as well.
Jon Jones is currently ranked No.1 in the UFC’s men’s pound-for-pound list. The former light heavyweight champion is surely destined to reign at the top of the GOAT list if he manages to defeat potential opponent Francis Ngannou.
