Jones insists Nurmagomedov’s fans compare his 15 world titles to Nurmagomedov’s 4 titles and conclude who’s the best fighter. Jones holds the UFC record for most title defenses at light heavyweight and is a legend of the sport.

Meanwhile, Nurmagomedov remained UFC’s undefeated and longest lightweight champion, having held the title for three years. Nurmagomedov now, though, cannot add to his UFC accolades as he retired after defeating Justin Gaethje at UFC 254.
