    Jones is a ped-cheat and the ducking is too much
    Fedor is a what-if and and unfortunately we will never know if he would have beaten UFC champions
    Anderson defended against low tier opposition
    Khabib I got h2h the best lightweight but he retired a bit too soon and never dared enough despite being dominating

    If people use the PED argument for Jones, understandable, for me, I don’t care, each to their own

    I won't give Jones too much trouble for PED use since I don't believe anyone refuses to take enhancements. But many of the best fighters he faced were past their best coming from Pride FC, and were naturally small enough that they could compete in middleweight, while Jones himself was a massive lightheavy weight that had enough size to compete at heavyweight. I also don't think he should be undefeated, he has at least two or 3 losses, but was gifted the decisions.

    That being said he is one of the Goats of MMA.

    The guy that got manhandled by an injured Ngannou? I’m shocked.
