Jon Jones is one of the most entertaining and lethal UFC fighters of all time and often gets a mention when talking about the "GOATS" of the promotion. Jones has done a lot throughout his UFC career and is a UFC Hall of Famer.
Jones gets a lot of respect from other fighters for his capabilities. Similarly, Jones also respects other fighters and recently gave out his Top 5 MMA fighters of all time, which included him too.
Anderson Silva is undoubtedly one of the most vicious fighters of all time, and his striking was out of this world. During his prime, he was unstoppable and went on a record-breaking winning streak. It is pretty obvious why Jones has him on his list.
GSP and Jon Jones are quite fond of each other, and the mutual respect has always been visible. Jones named GSP in his MMA GOAT list. St-Pierre is one of the most dominant fighters in UFC history and was the greatest of all time both inside and outside the octagon.
The King of Rio is the guy who popularised the featherweight division and ruled it for years. Aldo defended his title multiple times and finally retired from the UFC with a professional record of 31-8.
Now this one was quite surprising, as both Jones and Khabib didn't necessarily have the best relationship. Jones once mocked Nurmagomedov's fans for ranking The Eagle above him in the UFC's all-time rankings. However, it seems like despite their past, Jones still has a great deal of respect for the former undefeated lightweight champion.
