Dana White, Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan were among many high profile<\/a> names who went as far as to proclaim Khabib Nurmagomedov to be the GOAT of MMA following his UFC 254 victory and subsequent retirement.<\/p>\n The idea that Khabib is now the reigning GOAT of MMA does not sit well<\/a> with former UFC light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones.<\/p>\n ‘Bones’ recently took to Twitter<\/a> where he explained why Nurmagomedov has no right to be ranked ahead of him in the pound for pound rankings.<\/p>\n Among the many reasons Jones brought up, which included his 15 career championship wins, was the following explanation:<\/p>\n “Unanimous decision over last minute replacement Al Iaquinta to become champion. <\/span>Conor McGregor is the only opponent he\u2019s ever had that the general public actually knew. Catapulted my man to becoming the best ever, this is hilarious.” – Jones wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n Those comments got the thumbs up from Tony Ferguson, who soon replied to ‘Bones’ tweet with the following message.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/TonyFergusonXT\/status\/1321277394758430720<\/p>\n “Jon Jones <——————— This guy gets it – CSO.”<\/em> Ferguson replied.<\/p>\n ‘El Cucuy’ would later reply to a fan where he seemingly agreed that Jon Jones should get the nod for GOAT over Khabib because the undefeated Russian pulled out of more fights.<\/p>\n Yuuuup. pic.twitter.com\/7gniedAbyo<\/a><\/p>\n — Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) October 28, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Jon](\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jon-Jones-Joe-Rogan.png\")
