Dana White’s obsession with Jon Jones has sparked some serious chatter in the UFC community. The UFC president has been non-stop in calling Jones the greatest fighter ever and the no.1 pound-for-pound champ, even throwing shade at everyone else in the process. His over-the-top praise has turned into meme material for fans who are tired of hearing it. Now Jones, acknowledged the hype and thanked White for backing him as the best of all time.
Talking to Kevin Iole, Jones stated that at 37 years old, it’s a huge honor to be considered one of the most well-rounded winners in the sport. He expressed gratitude, saying he’s thankful that his boss, who has watched every one of his fights from the front row, recognizes him. Jones also believes that many new fans of the sport don’t fully understand what he has contributed, and White has been reminding them of that lately.
He stated, “I think Dana is doing a great job of saying, hey, let’s wait a minute, let’s remember what this guy’s done. I’m grateful and I’m that he’s not allowing the naysayers or some of the fans to push me to the side because I have done a tremendous amount of work for this company.”
Jones doesn’t mind the spotlight, even when people joke about him. With all the talk about being the greatest, Jones now has the perfect chance to prove he’s truly the pound-for-pound king by taking down one of the heavyweight legends, Stipe Miocic at UFC 309.
