Georges St-Pierre shares his thoughts on the MMA GOAT debate

Harry Kettle - October 28, 2020

Georges St-Pierre has offered up his thoughts on the ever-present debate regarding who the GOAT of mixed martial arts really is. St-Pierre, who last fought back in November 2017, has been a man in demand over the course of the last few days in the wake of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement. Many fans and pundits alike were hoping that St-Pierre would go head to head with Nurmagomedov somewhere down the road, but now, it doesn’t appear as if it’s ever likely to happen.

Christopher Taylor - October 27, 2020

Former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson has thrown his support behind mixed martial arts legend Jon Jones (26-1 MMA). Ever since Khabib Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA) defeated Justin Gaethje by way of second round submission at Saturday’s UFC 254 event, many fans and analysts have dubbed ‘The Eagle’ as the greatest of all time.

Jon Jones calls new UFC pound-for-pound rankings "number one bullsh*t"

Adam Martin - October 27, 2020

UFC legend Jon Jones reacted to the new UFC rankings, calling them “number one bullsh*t” after falling below Khabib Nurmagomedov at P4P. Jones was the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter for a long time before Nurmagomedov finally took over the spot following his second-round submission over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Jones has now fallen to second in the P4P rankings, and he’s not happy about the movement, as he believes he’s done more than enough to earn his spot at the top.

Cole Shelton - October 26, 2020

Jon Jones says there is no way Khabib Nurmagomedov can be considered the GOAT of MMA. After Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje by second-round submission to defend his lightweight title at UFC 254, he announced his retirement from the sport. He rode off into the sunset at 29-0 and many are now putting him in the conversation as the greatest ever. However, longtime UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, isn’t having any of that.

Adam D Martin - October 18, 2020

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones credited former opponent Thiago Santos while once again taking a shot at rival Anthony Smith.

Jan Blachowicz shares interesting theory as to why Jon Jones vacated his light heavyweight belt

Cole Shelton - October 14, 2020

Jan Blachowicz has a theory as to why Jon Jones vacated his light heavyweight belt and now has a planned move up to heavyweight. At UFC 253, Blachowicz fought and beat Dominick Reyes to win the vacant light heavyweight title. Immediately after the fight, Jones tweeted asking fans if he should go try and reclaim his belt. Yet, for the Pole, he doesn’t think “Bones” has any interest in fighting him as he knows he would get knocked out.

Tom Taylor - October 12, 2020

Not long thereafter, Blachowicz took on Dominick Reyes for the vacant belt. The Polish fighter won that title fight by second-round knockout, showcasing his knockout power once again.
