"How many defenses does he have?" - Jon Jones hits out at fan suggesting Alexander Volkanovski will outrank him on MMA GOAT list
Jon Jones recently took a shot at Alexander Volkanovski after a fan suggested that his place on the MMA GOAT list may get usurped by 'The Great'. Volkanovski recorded his third title defense at the recently concluded UFC 273 pay-per-view, where he beat 'The Korean Zombie' in the main event.
In the aftermath of the UFC 273 headliner, 'Bones' took to Twitter to hail Chan Sung Jung for his performance against Volkanovski. Both Jones and Jung have been training with Henry Cejudo at the Fight Ready gym in Arizona in recent months. The former light heavyweight champion tweeted:
"We love you zombie"

A fan responded to Jones' tweet, claiming that his spot on the MMA GOAT list was under threat, to which 'Bones' replied:
"How many defenses does he have?"

The Albuquerque native has defended his UFC light heavyweight 11 times. However, he refused to remind his detractors of the same after another fan suggested he defend himself when people continue to question his legacy.
Jones tweeted:
"No need to say anything… i’m happy for all the new combatants and their accomplishments"
