Russian mixed martial arts fighter Andrei Koreshkov thinks he’s American John Jones deservedly at the top of the UFC rankings, regardless of weight categories.
Last week, Russia’s Islam Makhachev knocked out Australia’s Alexander Volkanovski in the first round at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi and defended the UFC lightweight championship belt. At the beginning of the week, the UFC rankings were updated, Makhachev overtook Volkanovski in P4P and rose to second place. Up front, Jones, the UFC heavyweight champion, will face compatriot Stipe Miocic on November 11.
— Questions should be asked of those who compile these ratings. It is difficult for me to understand what guides them in determining the best fighters. But it should be remembered that almost the majority of Jones’ career fights were championship fights. In addition, he is the best in UFC history in terms of the number of victories in title fights. He was a dominant light heavyweight champion for nine years, and when he returned to the Octagon after a short break, he took the heavyweight belt as well. Therefore, in my opinion, the American leadership in the ranking is fair,” Koreshkov told RT.
