Dillon Danis takes a dig at Jon Jones' career following UFC 309

Dillon Danis has downplayed Jon Jones' legendary MMA career following the UFC heavyweight champion's emphatic victory at UFC 309. Jones delivered a spectacular spinning back kick to Stipe Miocic's ribs, securing a knockout win.

While Jones is widely regarded as the greatest MMA fighter of all time, Danis challenged this narrative, likening him to boxing icon Floyd Mayweather in terms of carefully curated matchups. In a social media post, he wrote:

“Jon Jones is the Floyd Mayweather of MMA. Think about it—he’s never fought any fighter in their prime. It’s always been either too early or too late. He’s made a career out of perfect matchmaking. Think about it and tell me I’m wrong?”
