Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is still up in arms after being surpassed by Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC’s pound-for-pound rankings.<\/p>\n

Jones sat atop the UFC’s pound-for-pound list for many years, but lost his spot this week thanks to Nurmagomedov’s dominant defeat of Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 254 last Saturday.<\/p>\n

He’s made no secret of his disappointment since then, railing against his ranking demotion on Twitter all week.<\/p>\n

That trend continued on Wednesday, when he aired his grievances on Instagram, blaming the issue on “casual<\/a> fans.”<\/p>\n

My first four championships, a whole staggering 11 championships ago. This is what I classify as elite competition, pretty sure these men are in the Hall of Fame already 🤫 If the new casual fans want to consider someone they didn\u2019t know before Connor McGregor the P4P best that\u2019s cool. But leave this goat stuff to the more experienced fans<\/a><\/p>\n
