Jon Jones 'Grateful' for Dana White's Support, Calls No. 1 P4P Status 'Huge Honor'

UFC President Dana White has publicly backed Jon Jones as the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, a title that Jones has held for several years.

In a recent interview, Jones expressed his gratitude for White's support, saying, "It's a huge honor. Dana is one of the most respected people in the fight game, so to have him say that about me means a lot."

White's comments come after Jones's impressive victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247, a fight that many believe solidified Jones's status as the top fighter in the world.

Jones has long been considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, and his record of 26-1-0 (with one no contest) is a testament to his dominance in the sport.

In the interview, Jones also discussed his future plans, saying that he is open to fighting anyone, regardless of weight class.

"I'm the best fighter in the world, so I'm willing to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere," Jones said. "I'm not afraid of anyone."
