Jon Jones reacts to Dana White's controversial MMA Mount Rushmore: "He's not talking about the best fighters"
Jon Jones recently reacted to Dana White's controversial MMA Mount Rushmore, stating that the UFC president is more focused on fighters who changed the game rather than the best in the sport.
White recently unveiled his list, featuring Jon Jones, Ronda Rousey, Georges St-Pierre, and Conor McGregor:
"You got to go with Jon Jones. You'd have to go with Ronda Rousey. Women would not be fighting in the UFC if it wasn't for her. You would have to put [Georges St-Pierre] in there and absolutely, positively Conor McGregor. He elevated and changed the game globally."

Dana White defends his stance on Jon Jones as MMA GOAT despite criticism
Dana White has been criticized for his unwavering belief in Jon Jones' dominance inside the octagon but remains steadfast in his opinion.
In a recent interview with John Morgan of Grind City Media, White addressed the controversy surrounding his claims. He emphasized that his statements are based on facts and not personal opinions.
White pointed out that Jones' accomplishments in the UFC, including his undefeated streak and dominance over multiple divisions, make him the greatest fighter of all time:
"Well, it's not important. This could be - Jon Jones could say, 'I'm never going to fight again' or it could be after his next fight, these are all facts. I even laid them out in a f**king commercial for all the stupid people that can't wrap their head around it. I was on a podcast this morning and I was talking about this."
He further added:
"One of the things that makes this sport so great and that I love about it so much - if a group of people came in here right now and wanted to debate cricket with me, it's going to be a real short conversation. But the beautiful thing about this sport is everybody thinks they're an expert in MMA or in combat sports, period. And it's what makes this thing so fun, but the only experts in this sport are in that f**king building right across the street [UFC Performance Institute]."
