JBJ is the GOAT and we are barely worthy enough to watch him perform his craft. Forget Nike, he should be sponsored by planet Earth and sent to fight in an intergalactic fighting competition.

Amazingly, it was confirmed that his toe wasn't even broken!! He should be back to 100% in 6-8 weeks which is incredible.

Jon Jones has been the greatest light heavyweight of all time.

Agreed. I think best and greatest may be different though. Jones doesn't have the love to be the greatest, but he certainly has everything else to be the best. His toe was apparently dislocated.

Yaspa I cannot interpret your statement. Please elaborate.

I still think he can be beat, but it won't happen any time soon.  I also think he's the type to retire early, I hope I'm wrong.

@UFCPickEm I actually agree on both points.

I could see him retire early because he got bored of fighting.

1. Jon Jones has definitely fought stiffer competition during his reign than any other LHW champ, period. He's been the best notably since (at LEAST) he slept Lyoto, IMHO.

2. Jones could defeat Chuck and Tito at the same time if they were in their primes and injury free and all three of them know it.

3. I am a bit biased because I am a much bigger Jones fan that I ever was of Chuck or Tito, and Tito is one of the reasons I got into the sport.

It is no lie that Jon is the best LHW ever. Only fact.

GOAT status: nr.3 after Anderson and Fedor.

But that may suffer a drastic change in the future
