Jon is now a two-division champ. He’s 27-1. Although the loss was due to breaking the rules (12-6 elbow) against Matt Hamill, he has lost rounds to Alexander Gustafsson, Dominick Reyes and Thiago Santos. He has 13 LHW title defenses. He has also been busted for using PEDs.
Khabib walked away from the sport at 29-0. He was more dominant, as he only lost two rounds in all of that time: one to Conor and one to Justin Gaethje. However, he only had three title defenses.
No known drug violations.
Jon arguably faced the tougher opposition throughout his career.
Which guy do you consider the superior and more accomplished mixed martial artist?
- Jon Jones has a superior MMA career.
- Khabib Nurmagomedov had a superior MMA career.
Jones fought yesterday its his day to shine
You have to go Jones. 28-0, double champ (something Khabib never did), 20 fights in the UFC, and 15 years in. Hes fought the best of the best and has never lost

The majority of Khabib oppnents dont even have sherdog pages. He was an amazing fighter but he has 3 legit world class wins, compare that to Jones who beat at least 6 who are or will be hall of famers. It’s no contest.

Jon is technically 27-1-0-1(NC).
A lot of people just consider him 29-0 in the cage though. I don’t like Jones the person but I do consider him 29-0 in MMA fights.
Jones has been right there fighting some of the best in the division since 2009 and has not lost but did have a three year break so thats 11 years active and at the top. Khabib did that for eight years in the UFC but it took him a lot longer to be granted a title shot and he never stuck around for defenses.
Jones has certainly beaten a lot more of the all time best fighters we have seen and he has now done it at two weights so you gotta be honest and admit Jones has done so much more even if you don’t like him personally.
Even if you don’t like them personally, you have to admit both Jones and Khabib achieved a lot.

Jon had the advantage of getting to the UFC at 6-0 while Khabib did not get there until 16-0.
Khabib fought for three years before hitting the UFC, Jones was in the UFC after fighting for four months.
Jon won the UFC title a little under three years into his MMA career.
Took Khabib just under ten years to win the UFC title.
Just can’t compare what Khabib did to what Jon has done. Jon has done a lot more.
why anytime someone fights there a thread that Khabib is better
Jones has more title wins than Khabib has total UFC fights
