Who is the best fighter at heavyweight? Depends on who you ask.
If we’re going by the books? Jon Jones is the best in the world. He’s the division’s top champ, which by definition puts him above everyone else. But when logic sets in, things get more confusing. Jones hasn’t fought in more than a year. Tom Aspinall, the interim champ at heavyweight, earned his title last year and is already on track to defend in just a couple of months. Does that make him the best?
The issue with this “best” question is a simple way to describe the issues at heavyweight currently.
