I do not think Jon Jones is the best fighter in the ufc any more but he was considered the best but he is not as good as he was before. I know he beat Gane without getting punched but I think it was the easiest way for him to win because Gane does not know how to wrestle. If he was against some one else I think he would have been tested more. I want to see Jon Jones against a wrestler to judge his boxing skills.

He is considered the best ever to do MMA and you think he is not the best fighter now, tell me one fighter that has the skill set to defeat Jon Jones in any division in the fight world, not just the UFC and then we can have a debate on that.

I was just starting with engaging with the topic about it so Jon Jones was really not relevant to me until he vacated that belt on the Light Heavyweight so Jan Błachowicz was the only Light Heavyweight I really have known, that is why I am not a Jon Jones fan until I have seen his highlights, but still not a huge fan, but much appreciated in what you are telling me right now, so thanks about it,

When Jon Jones was stripped or vacated the title, Daniel Cormier became the Champion, then Jan Błachowicz and after that Glover Teixeira, Jiří Procházka and now the title is held by Jamahal Hill. So 5 Champions just because Jon Jones vacated the title.

Dana White is definitely not in it for the fighters. You have to respect what he built and the UFC is a money printing machine so hes been quite successful. However, if his goal was to be the best boss and have the happiest fighters, Im sure he would be paying them 10 times what he is and I dont think it would have that much effect on the UFCs bottom line. Their investors have made billions and their fighters have made tens of thousands. Seems unbalanced.

Unlike boxing, UFC is reinvesting in building performance institute where fighters can train and will have all the benefits including health care and coaching staffs and we have 3 Mexican champions as they built one in Mexico and they are building these performance institutes around the globe in developing new fighters. All the main event fighters are earning millions of dollars per fight and if you compare the boxing model the prelim fighters are earning much more in the UFC than in Boxing.

These type of stupid judging against Russian fighters has to stop as it is messing up with our bets and real money is lost. Have to go for round bets if Russian fighters are involved rather than moneyline to be on the safe side.

Judging is a real issue and a blatant robbery as Said Nurmagomedov won the fight and this has to change.
