Jon Jones is one of the most popular names in the sport of MMA. His ability to win fights dominantly has earned him a lot of fans who believe that ‘Bones’ is the greatest of all time. While many MMA pundits also testify to it, one man disagrees with the statement. That man is none other than the Irish fighting sensation, Conor McGregor.

In one of his tweets, McGregor ranked Jon Jones fourth on his list of GOAT’s. ‘The Notorious’ tweeted, “Jon is 4. Maybe tied 3. More array of finishes than 3 and still active, but champion status in just 1. Reasons = Multiple lacklustre decision performances + questionable decision win. Attempting to safe play HW entry/avoiding its champion.”

Jones, the former UFC 205-pound champion of the world, did not take this statement well. He responded with a series of tweets and attacked McGregor. In his first tweet, Jones tweeted, “I’m not going to debate on who is the goat, I’ll let the fans do that for me.”

Jones did not stop there. In his quest to prove the former 155-pound champion of the world wrong, Jones shared some stats in another tweet and wrote, “Goat where you at…” 

Jon Jones did his best to justify his point. However, ‘Bones’ was not alone in this. Several fans reacted to this tweet by McGregor in the favor of Jon Jones.
