Jones secured a unanimous decision victory over 'DC' in their first face-off at UFC 182 in 2015. Subsequently, he delivered a knockout with a head kick in their rematch at UFC 214 in 2017. However, the second outcome was later nullified to a no-contest as Jones tested positive for banned substances.
When Dana White praised Jon Jones as the GOAT
Despite previous disagreements between Dana White and Jon Jones, the UFC CEO acknowledges and respects the heavyweight champion's remarkable achievements in the realm of fighting. According to White, 'Bones' stands as the undisputed greatest of all time.
During the UFC 285 pre-fight press conference last March, White said:
"When you look at Jones' career, he is undefeated. He should be 27-0 right now. He won that fight. That fight should've been a stoppage, not a DQ [disqualification]... If you look at the people that he went through to win the title and defend the title, it's very impressive. It's undeniable that he is the greatest of all time."

Jones boasts a professional MMA record of 27-1 and one no-contest. His sole defeat came through disqualification at 'The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale' in 2009 against Matt Hamill due to illegal elbows.
The former longtime light heavyweight champion has secured victories against several notable opponents, including Daniel Cormier, Chael Sonnen, and Alexander Gustafsson.
