#421 โ€“ Dana White: UFC, Fighting, Khabib, Conor, Tyson, Ali, Rogan, Elon & Zuck

John Jones, there's no debate. Nobody can debate who's the greatest of all time. It's absolutely positively John Jones. He's never lost. He's never been beaten in the octagon ever.

I don't disagree. But when you've never lost, right? You've never lost. We've never found somebody And the other thing is that you have to factor in too is longevity. How long he's โ€“ because sometimes with a lot of these guys, the sport passes them by. You get younger guys that are faster, this, that, and the sport evolves. Nobody's been able to beat Jon Jones.

Oh, and the other thing that you measure is when you said dominance โ€“ It's true. If you're this guy that has unbelievable power and you're just going in, you're just fucking knocking everybody out. And nobody's ever pulled you into the deep water before. That was when my opinion of John Jones started to change. Gustafson took him into the deep water.

Gustafson hit him with some shit he'd never been hit with. Gustafson tested him and put John Jones in a place where I bet if you sat down and interviewed John Jones, going into the deep rounds of that, John Jones thought he was going to die. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? And he's willing to go there. And he kept going. He was willing to do whatever it took to win that fight.

And it breaks my heart because he beat DC and DC is one of the greatest of all time. That's the thing too. And I believe that DC doesn't get the credit he deserves because of the Jon Jones thing. When you look at DC and what he's accomplished, right? And Jon Jones beat him twice. It's undeniable. You can hate all you want. Jon Jones was the greatest of all time.

Do you think Habib was tested enough? I think that Habib had the potential to be in the running for that. He just didn't stick around a lot. First of all, he had injuries that, you know, he should have been where he got a lot sooner had he not had the injuries that he had and the setbacks in his career. But there's no doubt Habib is one of the all-time greats.
