Dan Hardy, a former UFC fighter and current head of fighter relations for PFL in Europe, has shared his thoughts on whether UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is the best heavyweight fighter in the world.
I think Jon Jones is the pound-for-pound best. But is he the best current heavyweight on the planet? I don’t think so. I think the winner of Aspinall versus Ngannou would be the answer … no disrespect in any way to Jon. Current heavyweight champion but not the current best heavyweight on the planet. Certainly not.

Jon Jones last fought in November 2024 during UFC 309, where he secured a technical knockout victory over Stipe Miocic in the third round. His professional record comprises 28 wins and one loss, with one bout deemed a no contest.
