White, 51, has been the UFC’s president since 2001 and under his two-decade long guidance has grown to become the world’s largest and most successful MMA promotion.
Throughout his 20-years at the helm of the UFC, White has seen it all. He has witnessed an endless list of historical fights, a plethora of champions and numerous scandals.
Since the promotion’s inaugural fight card all the way back in 1993, the UFC has seen 130 champions (including current) all exchange the 13 weight classes’ belts on offer.
Despite his hugely popular public presence, one aspect of the fight game that White rarely breaks his silence on is who is the greatest fighter to ever do it.
However, in a recent interview with TMZ Sports, White has done just that.
When asked which fighter he considers to be the GOAT, White, without hesitation simply said: “Jon Jones!”
However, soon after giving his answer, White was then asked which fighter he feels is the best in the promotion at the moment to which he said “Khabib [Nurmagomedov]!”
