The greatest of all time conversation continues, as Dana White weighs with his latest opinion. In a interview with TMZ, the UFC president was asked the age old question, who is the MMA GOAT. Whilst Dana White has previously eluded to Khabib Nurmagamedov being the front runner for GOAT status in his opinion, he now seems to be leaning towards Jon Jones.
The interview took place in a speed round format, where White was grilled with a multitude of MMA related questions. He was first asked “who do you think is the greatest UFC fighter of all time?” White replied after some consideration with “Jon Jones.” However, when asked “who is the best UFC fighter right now”, White this time went with “Khabib.”
White has also previously dubbed Anderson Silva as the GOAT, however lacklustre performances later on in ‘The Spider’s’ career have likely ruled him out of the conversation by now. Jon Jones and Khabib both have impressive resumes, and are both essentially undefeated. There is admittedly some controversy with both fighters in that regard. Jones technically has a loss on his record, as he was DQ’d in a fight against Matt Hamill for illegal elbows. He also won a controversial decision against Dominick Reyes, which many scored the other way. Alternatively, Khabib holds an incredible 29-0 record, although he did have a slightly fortuitous win over Gleison Tibau, back in his early days of fighting for the UFC.
However both men have left such a legacy on their divisions that they deserve all the praise that is there to be had. With Jon Jones currently planning a move up to Heavyweight, he may have the option to solidify his status of greatest of all time once and for all. Should he take the Heavyweight belt from either Francis Ngannou or Stipe Miocic, few would argue against granting him the moniker of UFC GOAT.
Do you agree with Dana White? Who do you think is the UFC GOAT?

Charles Oliveira has taken exception to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s claim that he is levels above everyone in the UFC lightweight division. UFC 257 was viewed to be something of a “Khabib Nurmagomedov Sweepstakes” to see if any of the lightweights in the main and co-main event could entice Khabib to return by delivering an impressive performance.

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has the chance to forge a new career in football.
The MMA superstar retired from the sport in October 2020 after beating Justin Gaethje via technical submission at UFC 254.
Since then, UFC president Dana White has been consistent in his efforts to try to convince Nurmagomedov to fight on.
A mega-money rematch with Conor McGregor was seemingly on the table before Dustin Poirier derailed those plans and solidified Khabib’s retirement when he knocked out ‘Notorious’ at UFC 257 last weekend.
In the last few weeks, videos of Nuramgomedov playing football have emerged online. The 32-year-old appears to have some decent soccer skills from the few clips available.
This week Nuramgomedov took to social media to reveal he is ready to begin his new career in football. Khabib posted the below message alongside a video of him running on sand.
“Preparing for my football debut. I’m free agent, and ready to accept offers.”
Nurmagomedov’s dream could become a reality as he has now received an offer to join FC Kamaz who currently play in the Russian Professional Football League (PFL) – the third tier of Russian football.
FC Kamaz are currently chasing promotion and are looking to sign Nurmagomedov to bolster their chances. The team made a public offer to sign the UFC champion on Instagram.
“Welcome, Khabib,” they stated per RT. “We offer you to make your football debut as part of our team. PFL is the football UFC… we play every match only to win [and are] an ambitious team with the task of entering the FNL. “We invite you to the training camp in Novorossiysk, from February 12 to March 5, 2021.”
As of right now, it remains unclear if Nurmagomedov was actually serious about transitioning to professional football. Nonetheless, he has an offer to do so. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Do you think Khabib Nurmagomedov could be successful in football?
