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.
