video<\/a>, the former UFC middleweight champion stated that while some fans hold \u2018Bones\u2019 testing failures against him, his greatness is too much to be ignored. The Brit praised Jones\u2019s resume, and his ability to beat fighters at their own games. For that reason, among several others, Bisping believes he\u2019s the greatest to ever fight.<\/p>\n![\"Football](\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jon-Jones-1.jpg\")

\u201cSo listen, we\u2019re splitting hairs here,\u201d Michael Bisping stated. \u201cWhether you\u2019re pound for pound number one, two, or three, it doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s not an insult, it\u2019s a subjective thing, it\u2019s an opinion, and we\u2019re all entitled to them. However, Jon Jones, when you look at what he\u2019s done, when you look at the people he\u2019s beating, when you look at the way that he\u2019s beaten them. He\u2019s beaten them at their own game a lot of the time. You can\u2019t deny the man.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cA lot of people want to do that. We know he\u2019s not popular, and we know he\u2019s had the picograms, the performance-enhancing drugs, the failed tests. Whatever you want to call them, that\u2019s a huge asterisk. But still, I\u2019d say he\u2019s the pound-for-pound number one\u2026 We\u2019re also talking about probably the GOAT, the greatest of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again, Islam [Makhachev] and Khabib [Nurmagomedov] fans are going to come after me. Georges St-Pierre fans are, Anderson Silva\u2019s fans are, but I\u2019m sorry. Anderson Silva is definitely up there. But still, Jon Jones, the resume, the people he\u2019s beaten, you can\u2019t deny it.\u201d<\/p>\n
