However, the renowned MMA manager, Ali Abdelaziz, voiced his opinion on ‘The Eagle’ being the greatest fighter and even compared his legacy to Jones’

In an interview with Sherdog, Ali Abdelaziz explained why he thinks his former client is better than Jon Jones.

He said, “Man, Jon Jones… When I talk about the good, the good means inside the cage, outside the cage….. Khabib never had a close fight. You look at Jon Jones, last three fights were very close fights…. Khabib never had even a close fight… Dominance, Khabib is better, undefeated. In many rounds Khabib is better. Outside the cage, Khabib is better.”

“Khabib never had any action with USADA, none of the stuff…. Of course, Jon Jones is a great fighter, but he cannot tie the shoes of Khabib. I don’t think he can. He’s great, but I think Khabib is on a different level, ” he added.
