Fans recently reacted to Dana White building his perfect MMA fighter. The UFC CEO named Jon Jones as his fighter of choice for almost every skill or attribute his perfect MMA fighter would have, sending fans into a frenzy.

It's no secret that White is among Jones' biggest admirers and has been vocal about why he believed 'Bones' deserves to be the UFC pound-for-pound No. 1-ranked fighter. White often brings up Jones' incredible resume and legendary light heavyweight title reign during pressers to defend his position, even calling for a change in how the official rankings system works.

Dana White believes Jon Jones could be the "baddest dude to ever walk the face of the earth"

Dana White recently lauded Jon Jones for his dominance in combat sports and called the reigning UFC heavyweight champion "the greatest fighter of all time" during an interview.

Jones is set to face Stipe Miocic in a heavyweight title fight at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden in New York City next month. Ahead of Jones' second heavyweight outing, White has been vocally adamant about him being the UFC P4P king. While White has consistently called Jones the MMA GOAT, he recently upgraded his praise to cover all combat sports.

During an interview on Outta Pocket with RGIII, White heaped praise on Jones and said:

"I think he’s the greatest combat sports fighter of all time. 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."
