"I’m a huge fan of Tyson, but I’m rooting for Jake in the situation. The kids come such a long way."

Jon Jones ranks the top 5 UFC fighters of all time
In a recent statement, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones shared his picks for the top five greatest UFC fighters of all time. Jones, who is set to compete for the now-vacant heavyweight title at UFC 285 next month, will face off against Ciryl Gane.
Jones listed his top five UFC fighters of all time in a recent interview with RMC Sport. Unsurprisingly, Jones included himself on the list given his record-setting 11 title defenses during his time as light heavyweight champion. He also named former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, who began his octagon career with a 16-0 record that still stands unbeaten.
Georges St-Pierre, known for his well-rounded skills, defended his welterweight title nine times. Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired as an undefeated and undisputed lightweight champion, was also recognized for his unprecedented dominance.
Lastly, Jones named Jose Aldo, who earned the nickname "The King of Rio" for his impressive career as a featherweight champion.
