“Jon Jones is still the best fighter in the world right now,” “Borz” said in an interview with Smile 2 Jannah. “He has the most title defenses, he’s a two weight class champion, he’s never lost, and he was the youngest champion in the UFC. Everyone in the MMA world knows him – he’s the best in history, there’s no one else like him. Needless to say, this is a dream fight for anyone who wants to make history.”
“I’m younger than him. Hopefully he doesn’t quit his job anytime soon and we can make this fight when I move up. It’s a tough fight for anyone. He fought my sparring partner, Alexander Gustafsson, twice, those were great fights, and I became a fighter by training with Alex. Of course, I want to fight Jon Jones. If we fight, this fight will be a big story. Alex gave him the toughest fight of his career and maybe it’s my time to fight him”
Currently, Khamzat Chimaev is a prime candidate to fight the winner of the title fight between Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis, while Jon Jones, who tore a pectoral muscle, plans to make his title defense against Stipe Miocic after his recovery.
