The situation involving Jon Jones definitely seems confusing at the moment. While Dana White has always claimed Jones is the GOAT of MMA, it looks like his relationship with the former champion has fallen through. That said, it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds and if we have truly seen the end of Jones in the UFC. And if that turns out to be the case, Jones will truly walk away as arguably the best fighter that the UFC has ever seen.
