UFC lightweight champion Chabib Nurmagomedov (29-0) was forced to surrender to Justin Gaethje (22-3) in the second round of the UFC 254 UFC 254 tournament on Saturday in the United Arab Emirates and announced the end of his career. .
After the tournament, UFC president Dana White revealed that Ch.Nurmagomedov struggled on the staging ground and called him the greatest fighter of all time.
“Knowing what he’s experienced, we can be glad that he fought today overall. I heard he broke his leg before the fight and was in the hospital 3 weeks ago. His coaches told him that he had broken a toe or two, I don’t remember exactly. He didn’t tell anyone that. He is one of the strongest people on the planet and definitely number one in the pound-for-pound ranking. We have to start talking about him as perhaps the greatest fighter of all time. “
This enraged another UFC legend, veteran heavyweight champion John Jones, who predicted before the fight that Gaethje would win a knockout.
# UFC254 I’m going with Gaethje for this one. BY KO!

After Ch.Nurmagomedov’s victory, Jones wrote that he would briefly resign as the best fighter of all time, but only until he became the champion of the heavyweight division.
“Until I win the heavy crown, I’ll give you that spot. Cheer up, champ,” Jones wrote.
Until I take that heavy crown, I grant you the spot. 🤙🏾 Enjoy Champ

Jones then wrote more than one post, still reminding him that he is still the best fighter who has defended the champion title the majority of the time.
“15 world champion titles, the numbers don’t lie”.
15 world titles, the numbers don’t lie.

“I’ll just ask for a heavyweight title fight and see if they give it to me.”
I’m just going to ask for the heavyweight championship belt and see if they give it to me. Since we can only order things now 🤷🏾♂️

“I won 15 world championship titles, he is only 4 years old. I don’t understand how they talk about that.”
I’ve won 15 world titles, he just won the fourth. The fact that this is even a conversation is mine. https://t.co/DiJQ4X5vjl

“I ask him why he should receive the best fighter status and people tell me that I should let him enjoy his moment. Sadly, “his timing” is directly related to my life’s work. “

One of the supporters expressed the opinion that Ch.Nurmagomedov is considered the best fighter of all time, because he dominated everyone he faced, and also has many records and a “clean” base.
“The same company that accused me of possible steroids later acquitted me. If I had started fighting for the titles four fights ago, I would still see myself as an absolute beast. But hey, I think you’re only worth the same as your last performance in this game, “Jones wrote.
The same company that accused me of possible steroids vindicated me. If I started fighting for titles four fights ago, I also look like an absolute beast. But okay, I guess you only deserve your last performance in this game🥴 https://t.co/cwhb7BZX1J

Jones has won 26 career victories, once lost to an illegal act and once the fight was declared a winner because Jones had a positive drug test.
