Exclusive: Jon Jones is Jamahal Hill's P4P pick over Khabib Nurmagomedov and four other MMA legends, except this one ex-UFC champion

Jamahal Hill has named Jon Jones his top pound-for-pound (P4P) fighter, eclipsing legendary champions like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Anderson Silva. The former light heavyweight champion acknowledged Jones' remarkable career and dominance in the octagon.

However, when the conversation turned to the legendary Demetrious Johnson, Hill quickly pivoted his choice. In an exclusive interview with SportskeedaMMA, 'Sweet Dreams' said:

“If I’m building a fighter, I’m building a fighter like Demetrious Johnson. So I’m about to go Demetrious.”

Check out Jamahal Hill's comments below (14:02):

Johnson, who retired at 38, is celebrated as one of the greatest MMA fighters ever. He was the inaugural UFC flyweight champion, defending his title 11 times from 2012 to 2017.

Following his exit from the UFC in 2018, Johnson continued to impress in ONE Championship, where he became the flyweight champion. His fighting style and record-breaking achievements have left a lasting legacy in the sport, culminating in his induction into the ONE Championship Hall of Fame after his recent retirement announcement.

Tom Aspinall shares his pick for Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic championship fight

Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall recently shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated UFC 309 heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.

Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Aspinall expressed a slight preference for Jones to win, citing the age difference between the two fighters.

Aspinall also praised Jones for his performance at UFC 285, where he secured a dominant first-round submission victory over Ciryl Gane to claim the heavyweight title. Based on Jones' recent activity and success, Aspinall estimated that Jones has a 60 percent chance of retaining his title against Miocic.

The Brit said:

"I would edge towards Jon, of course, just because he's younger and he's a little fresher than Stipe. Stipe, let's be honest, we don't really know where he's at. He's definitely the best heavyweight of all-time. He's also like 42 years old, 43 years old. His last fight, he got knocked out, which was like three or four years ago now. We have no idea what he's going to look like."
