Sean O’Malley picks Islam Makhachev over Jon Jones

Dana White is determined to make it clear that Jon Jones is the best fighter of all time and the true pound-for-pound king of the UFC. But there are some people who have shown that they disagree with the UFC. The last among them is bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley. ‘Suga’ believes that the greatest fighter is Islam Makhachevamong the active fighters.

“The biggest fighter right now? Probably Islam. I mean, Jon Jons is up there… Who was active [the] last four years or so? I think it is Islam,” O’Malley explained during a Interview with Helen Yee. He added that Islam Makhachev also fits the description of the best P4P fighter in the world, especially because Jon Jones has only had one fight since 2020. What do you think?

Colby Covington is the master of getting under people’s skin. From a controversial dig at Leon Edwards’ father to causing a stir in Brazil, “Chaos” does what his nickname suggests almost everywhere he goes. Former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, however, doesn’t seem to mind too much. In fact, he claims Covington is a “great dance partner.”

“I’m used to hearing people say, ‘You need a dance partner’… He [Covington] that was the point in the first fight… there was so much tension… [I] Only [got] locked in this zone”, Kamaru Usman made his comments on the Weighing In podcast. Now, it depends on what Colby Covington has to say about this, but if we had to guess, he might respond positively to this statement.
