Georges St-Pierre was asked who he thought was the best fighter in the UFC. He said that there were many great fighters, but he thought that the best was Jon Jones.
St-Pierre said that Jones was a very talented fighter who was able to dominate his opponents. He also said that Jones was a very intelligent fighter who was always able to find a way to win.
“In terms of where we are now, I think it’s hard to find someone better than Jon Jones,” St-Pierre said.
“Jon Jones is so good. Jon Jones is extremely talented, but he’s also extremely tough. People have no idea how tough he is.”
$I’ve trained with him, I’ve seen him going through the grind. He’s so freaking tough.”
“I remember the fight that he had with Vitor Belfort, I think his arm got dislocated, and he fought even with a dislocated arm. Even one of his fights, his toe was broken.” St-Pierre added.
Jones, the former light heavyweight champion, boasts a phenomenal record and is widely considered one of the most skilled and dominant fighters MMA has ever witnessed.
Throughout his career, Jones has displayed exceptional versatility, mastering striking, wrestling, and submissions.
His ability to adapt and strategise within the octagon has proven nightmarish for opponents, leaving a trail of victories and solidifying his place among the UFC elite.
“Most of the time when you have a guy that is very talented, it doesn’t come with toughness.” St-Pierre said.
“Jon Jones is the full package. He’s got everything. Elite striker, elite grappler, [and] he’s good everywhere.” he added.
St-Pierre is a retired UFC fighter who is considered to be one of the greatest fighters of all time.
He held the UFC welterweight title for a record nine years and defended it successfully 13 times. St-Pierre is also a former UFC middleweight champion.
