UFC president Dana White has given his thoughts on who would be in the top five conversation for greatest UFC fighters of all time.
Across the last few decades, White has been the face of the UFC. In that time, many fighters have come and gone, and many have made a lasting impact.
So, when asked about who he thinks five of the best are during a recent interview, it makes sense that he would have some difficulty with it.
It’s a conversation fans love to have once in a while: who is the greatest of all time? In mixed martial arts, it’s quite a complicated discussion, and even more so in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. There are so many great athletes who have come through the doors of the promotion over the years, and Dana White knows that better than anyone. For the past few decades, White has been the face of the UFC. During this period, many fighters have come and gone, and many have had a lasting impact. Daniel Cormier had already given his opinion on the matter.
Dana White gives her top 5 with difficulty
That’s why, when Dana White was asked in a recent interview who he thinks are the top five, it makes sense that he would have some difficulty answering this question.
“It’s very hard to do because when you look at the 23 years I’ve been in this business, there have been so many great fighters. But you have to start with Jon Jones.”
“You must have Ronda Rousey, you know what I mean? There’s also Amanda Nunes, the greatest fighter of all time. There are so many that it’s hard to pick just five. Kamaru Usman has to be there, Chuck Liddell in his time, Royce [Gracie] in his time and in his time, it’s hard to pick five. If you look at the different generations, they have taken the sport to another level. Matt Hughes should be on the list“
There are so many MMA fighters it’s hard to choose. However, White is confident of Jones’ place at the top of the list despite fans’ lack of respect for him.
