Is Jon Jones Really the GOAT? Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Coach Weighs In
In a recent interview on the ‘Javier Mendez Podcast’, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s coach, Javier Mendez, shared his strong opinions about the UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. While many consider Jones to be the greatest of all time (GOAT) in mixed martial arts, Mendez begs to differ.
Mendez delved into Jones’ controversial past, drawing comparisons to former professional cyclist Lance Armstrong. Both athletes have faced failed drug tests and suspensions, tarnishing their legacies. Despite Jones’ dominance in the Octagon, Mendez believes his PED use disqualifies him from being considered the GOAT.
Although Mendez acknowledges Jones’ skills and achievements in the light heavyweight and heavyweight categories, he stands firm in his stance that the title should not be bestowed upon someone with a history of cheating.
