NEW YORK – After months of claiming Jon Jones to be the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, Dana White finally feels his point was proven.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) defended his UFC heavyweight title against former champion Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in the main event of UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden. It was a dominant showing that ended with Jones landing a spinning back kick to the body to put away Miocic in the third round of their contest.
With the win, Jones not only defended his heavyweight belt and cemented himself as arguably the greatest fighter in the sport’s history but also proved that he’s the best fighter today – at least according to White.
