Dana White Criticizes Jon Jones' Rankings

UFC President Dana White has expressed outrage over Jon Jones being ranked third in the latest UFC pound-for-pound rankings, behind Islam Makhachev and Alex Pereira. White described the ranking as 'ridiculous, embarrassing, and stupid,' insisting that Jones is the greatest fighter of all time despite his inactivity due to a pectoral injury. He argued that the rankings panel knows nothing about fighting, stating that anyone placing Jones lower is simply hating on him as a person. The rankings have seen significant changes recently, with fighters like Belal Muhammad and Tom Aspinall making notable moves. White's passionate defense of Jones highlights the ongoing debate over the criteria for the rankings, especially as Jones has only fought twice in the last four years. The controversy continues as fans anticipate Jones's upcoming fight against Stipe Miocic in November.
