Dana White recently opened up on his views on Jon Jones. In an interview with NYup, the UFC President talked about ‘Bones‘ and his legacy. Jones is considered one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest, by many.

White was asked about his view on the former light-heavyweight champion’s career so far. Jones has dominated the UFC’s 205 lbs division for almost a decade now. He has taken on all comers, beating legends of the sport to new rising contenders through the years. He is the pinnacle of a dominant champion in MMA.

When asked about Jones’s greatness, White said, “Who, Jones? He’s already there. I mean, you’re always gonna have the trackers and people. Like the Brady thing, we were just talking about. It’s hard to dispute that Jones [is one of the greatest]. Look at how long he’s been doing it. The one loss in his record is not a loss. It was screwed up by a really bad referee who shouldn’t have been in there. It was at a time when the Nevada commission was very weak.

“And the guy is literally undefeated. He’s beat the who’s who and now he’s gonna move up to heavyweight. And if he continues to win fights at heavyweights, it’s hard to deny Jon Jones,” added Mr. White.
