Dana White completes U-turn on Islam Makhachev vs Jon Jones pound-for-pound debate after UFC 311
Dana White spent the majority of 2024 blasting the UFC rankings panel for overlooking heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who has fought just twice in five years, in favor of Makhachev. However, the MMA mogul finally admitted that Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammate is the best fighter currently on his roster after UFC 311.
White's affinity for Jones has become a running joke in the combat sports community but calling Jones P-4-P No. 1 while the UFC website lists Islam Makhachev as No. 1 is quite comical.
