Mixed martial arts history is young enough that it unfolds before us on the regular. The title of “best ever” or “greatest of all time” gets traded around like a hot potato. Fedor Emelianenko, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Georges St-Pierre; they’ve all been labeled as rulers of the sport at some time or another, even though they are mostly contemporaries. When we have more time behind us, we will be able to view things with a more accurate eye. Still, the current king of fighting is hardly in dispute.
Jon Jones is the best.
