Dana White doubles down on his stance proclaiming Jon Jones as the 'GOAT'

Dana White has been getting into multiple heated exchanges off late questioning Jon Jones' ranking on the pound-for-pound ladder. As of now, Jones occupies the No.3 spot behind Islam Makhachev and Alex Pereira.

"Did you guys read the stats? He recently just beat the No. 1 heavyweight in the world. I hope you guys read that stat. Do you know what is f*cking great about technology? We’re not far away from A.I. actually doing these rankings and it will be a great f*cking day when A.I. starts doing this shit. So I’m really excited about that.”
