Harry Kettle - November 19, 2020

UFC legend Jon Jones has shown off his new physique as he seemingly prepares for a jump up to heavyweight. While most of the focus surrounding “Bones” has been on his constant back and forth with Israel Adesanya over Twitter, many do seem to be forgetting that the former light heavyweight king is aiming to finally join the land of the giants in the next few months.

Frank Shamrock knows a thing or two about greatness in Martial Arts. He won the interim King of Pancrase title as well as belts in WEC and Strikeforce. He was also the first fighter to win the UFC middleweight championship (later known as light heavyweight.) There aren’t many people who’ve contributed more or have a deeper knowledge about Mixed Martial Arts than ‘The Legend.’ As debates about which MMA fighter is the GOAT right now continue to rage on, it’s interesting to hear his take.

Chael Sonnen absolutely trashed Jon Jones after the former light heavyweight champion dragged him into his renewed beef with Daniel Cormier on Wednesday. Jones and Cormier, two of the fiercest rivals in MMA history, have been jawing back and forth on Twitter for days. Unsurprisingly, Cormier ultimately pointed the finger at Jones over his previously issues with the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

UFC great Jon Jones took a shot at rival Daniel Cormier after DC suggested Jones doesn’t belong in the GOAT discussion due to PED issues. Cormier, who himself is in the GOAT discussion, recently chimed in on the question that has been coming up a lot lately in MMA circles. After UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov improved to 29-0 with a win over Justin Gaethje, many including UFC president Dana White were quick to anoint him as the GOAT. Jones, who many consider being the best fighter ever, did not agree with that sentiment, and for the last few weeks he has sent out tweets explaining why he should be the GOAT over Nurmagomedov.

Former UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones has sent a clear message to rival Israel Adesanya regarding a potential showdown between the two. While both men may seem to be heading in different directions right now, it seems like just a matter of time before two of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s true greats square off inside the Octagon.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones says he doesn’t care Israel Adesanya is fighting Jan Blachowicz for his old belt next. Jones vacated the 205lbs belt back in the summer with the intention of moving up a weight class to heavyweight. So far, he hasn’t made the move up in weight official as his next fight hasn’t been announced yet. While Jones remains on the sidelines, one of his biggest rivals in the game in Israel Adesanya is poised to move up to 205lbs to take on the new champion Jan Blachowicz in 2021. But Jones doesn’t care what either of them does.

Jon Jones has continued to trash his longtime rival, Daniel Cormier. For years now, Jones and Cormier have had a feud. They first fight at UFC 182 with Jones winning by decision.

Tom Taylor - November 9, 2020

Mike Winkeljohn, one of the masterminds behind Jon Jones, recently explained why Jon Jones is well prepared for a potential fight with Israel Adesanya. Jones ruled over the UFC light heavyweight for many years until he vacated the title earlier in 2020 with plans to move up to the heavyweight division. In the final chapters of his light heavyweight title reign, he was frequently linked to a showdown with striking whiz Israel Adesanya, who now rules over the UFC middleweight division.

Adam D Martin - November 8, 2020

Former UFC champion Jon Jones explained why he’s “so glad” that Glover Teixeira defeated Thiago Santos in the main event of UFC Vegas 13. Jones, of course, previously fought both Teixeira and Santos. “Bones” defeated Teixeira at UFC 172 in 2014 via unanimous decision back when he was in his prime, and he later beat Santos via split decision at UFC 239 in a razor-thin fight. So if anyone knows a thing or two about how Teixeira and Santos operate inside the Octagon cage, it’s Jones.

Cole Shelton - November 5, 2020

Israel Adesanya is open to fighting Jon Jones at light heavyweight and heavyweight. Adesanya and Jones have had a feud for quite some time and many figured Adesanya would move up to challenge “Bones” for his light heavyweight title. However, that is not the case as Jones vacated and now “The Last Stylebender” will face Jan Blachowicz for the light heavyweight title in 2021.

Harry Kettle - November 5, 2020

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has questioned by his rival Jon Jones is “jealous” of him. The two men have been going back and forth at one another on social media for months now, and while it seemed for a time that they were set to square off sooner rather than later, that no longer appears to be the case with Adesanya moving to light heavyweight and Jones contemplating a jump up to heavyweight.

Tom Taylor - November 2, 2020

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. 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.

Adam Martin - October 28, 2020

UFC legend Randy Couture says that Jon Jones winning the heavyweight title “erases any argument” about his status in the GOAT discussion. Couture is one of the all-time greats himself. The UFC Hall of Famer, who is now age 57 and retired, is universally regarded as one of the top-10 pound-for-pound fighters of all time. He was a six-time UFC champion who won titles at both light heavyweight and heavyweight. As time has gone on, Couture’s name has slipped a bit in the P4P rankings. At one point, he was in the discussion for No. 1, but now it’s fair to say he’s top-10.
