The debate over who is the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world is a hot-button topic. Heavyweight champion Jon Jones has held the position for most of the past decade. When he relinquished the light heavyweight championship in 2020, it opened the door for others like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Alexander Volkanovski to stake claim to No. 1 spot. When Jones returned three years later and won the heavyweight title, he was again elevated to the top spot in the pound-for-pound rankings. UFC CEO Dana White was one of the loudest voices in Jones’ favor to occupy the position but that has changed
