The undisputed GOAT of the UFC Jon 'Bones' Jones won't fight at UFC 300!

UFC GOAT Jon 'Bones' Jones revealed in an interview with Submission Radio that he was offered and declined to headline UFC 300 in April.

According to the Bleacher Report, Jones declined the offer presented to him because he wouldn't have enough time to train properly.

The current UFC Heavyweight champion hasn't fought since he beat Ciryl Gane in March 2023, winning in round one of the fight.

'Bones' is the undisputed GOAT of the sport, and a UFC 300 card without him as the main event will be a real sucker punch to UFC president Dana White.

With that said, Here are five reasons why Jon Jones is the GOAT of the UFC.

According to the UFC website, Jones has a UFC record of 27 wins, one loss, and one no-contest in his career. However, his loss was controversially ruled as a disqualification in his fourth UFC fight against Matt Hamill.

In his 27 wins as a UFC fighter, not all fights have been plain sailing, narrowly taking decision wins against Thiago Santos and Dominick Reyes in his previous two bouts before matching up against Gane.

Jon Jones draws many similarities with NBA legend LeBron James. The two GOATs have both shared the longevity and consistency to stay at the highest level of their sports for an extended period.

'Bones' Jones made his MMA debut in April 2008, recording a TKO win over Brad Bernard. His talent and longevity have led him 15 years down the line, winning another UFC title belt in 2023, as reported by ESPN.

His title defense record and other UFC records in the light heavyweight division alone warrant his GOAT status in the sport.

Jones has the most title fight wins in the UFC (15), the most wins in the light heavyweight division (20), the joint most successful title defenses (11), and the longest unbeaten streak in the UFC (19), according to the Sherdog website.

Throughout his long and successful 16-year career in the UFC, Jones has tested himself against the best fighters.

Jones has fought the likes of Danial Cormier, Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua, Rashad Evans, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, and Lyoto Machida, all in title fights or defenses, as reported by UFC Stats.

Jones has proved to match up against any UFC fighter in the Octagon, facing elite-level strikers, wrestlers, and kickboxers. Despite that, you could argue Jones has them all.

At 6ft4 with an 84.5" reach, Jon Jones has the most physically imposing body in the UFC. To add that, he has wrestled since he was 12, so Jones is dangerous on the floor or standing up, as reported by ESPN.
