Cormier Disqualifies Jones from MMA GOAT Debate

Daniel Cormier recently reiterated his stance on Jon Jones' status in the MMA world during a fan Q&A session at UFC 312, acknowledging Jones' achievements but ultimately denying him the title of 'Greatest of All Time' (GOAT) due to his history with performance-enhancing drugs. Cormier, who faced Jones twice in the Octagon, stated, 'You can’t really deny his greatness,' while emphasizing that 'when you do dirty s—, you don’t get to be called the greatest of all time.' This reflects the ongoing debate among fans and commentators about the impact of Jones' past controversies on his legacy. Cormier's comments come as anticipation builds for Jones' potential return to the ring against Tom Aspinall, who recently won the interim heavyweight title. UFC CEO Dana White has also weighed in on the GOAT debate, expressing disagreement with the idea that Jones' drug issues should disqualify him from that discussion. The rivalry between Cormier and Jones continues to capture attention, illustrating the complex narratives within the sport.
