In a recent interview, actor and martial artist Michael Jai White weighed in on Dana White's claim that Jon Jones is the greatest fighter of all time. White acknowledged Jones's dominance, especially at light heavyweight—the sport's toughest division—and praised his elite weapons, long limbs, and unmatched strength. "He's never been beat in the Octagon," White said, emphasizing Jones's calm demeanor and strategic focus, comparing him to Floyd Mayweather’s composure. While discussing hypothetical matchups, White favored a pure boxing match-up with Mike Tyson over Jon Jones when striking tools were restricted. Regarding Jones's future, White suggested the fighter may seek a big "super fight" but affirmed, "He’s proven everything he has to." White also highlighted current UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland’s character and heart, describing him as one of his favorite personalities in the sport today. The conversation showcased White’s respect for Jones’s legacy and his optimistic view of the UFC’s future stars.
