[Dana White](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/2230/dana-white) has taken his praise of [Jon Jones](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/47/jon-jones) to new heights. Jones will defend the UFC heavyweight title for the first time Nov. 16 at [UFC 309](https://www.mmafighting.com/fight-card/1485/ufc-309) against [Stipe Miocic](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/775/stipe-miocic) in the main event at Madison Square Garden. White has spent the better part of 2024 standing his ground about Jones being the best ever, and the current No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the promotion despite not competing since winning his second divisional title at [UFC 285](https://www.mmafighting.com/fight-card/1361/ufc-285-jones-vs-gane) in March 2023. Now, White says Jones’ greatness extends beyond the UFC and MMA, but to all of combat sports — and beyond, “I think he’s the greatest combat sports fighter of all time,” White said on [_Outta Pocket With RGIII_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlnSv9wo2u8). “I think he’s the greatest fighter of all time. Big back and forth with me and the media right now about Jon Jones over all of this stuff, but Jon Jones is probably the baddest dude to ever walk the face of the Earth. Even the guys I love like Ali and Tyson, and a lot of the great heavyweights that’s existed throughout the history of combat sports, Jon Jones can do it all. “Jon Jones will grab you, maul you, elbow you, he can do everything.” Jones, the multi-time light heavyweight champion, never lost the belt in a fight during his 205 pound run. He was either stripped, or vacated the championship — the latter happening in 2020 following a controversial decision win against [Dominick Reyes](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/4111/dominick-reyes) at [UFC 247](https://www.mmafighting.com/fight-card/1093/ufc-247-jones-vs-reyes) in February 2020. “Bones” spent over three years building up his body for heavyweight before his long-awaited return, where he submitted [Ciryl Gane](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/5037/ciryl-gane) in the first round at UFC 285 to win the vacant title. ---

In my opinion, kettle-ball swinging, sweater wearing, prime Fedor versus coked out, juiced up prime Jones would be the greatest fight of all time. ---

Was it someone here who said that Danas angle with all this nonsense is they know Jon is gonna retire so they’re trying to push this whole Michael Jordan of MMA legacy thing to monetize it with merchandise etc for years to come after hes gone. Otherwise it just seems weird as fuck to suck his dong so much honestly. ---
