Javier Mendez compares Jon Jones to Lance Armstrong

In his sensational coaching profession, Javier Mendez has utilized his sublime knowledge of combat sports to guide the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov to UFC superstardom.

As well as, he trains Islam Makhachev, who’s currently occupying the primary spot within the pound-for-pound rankings.

Nonetheless, while the Russian has undeniably proved his skills within the cage beyond doubt, Dana White is insistent that Jon Jones is the one man worthy of claiming that accolade.

He’s even gone so far as to say that those disagreeing, ‘Know nothing about fighting’.

But despite his limitless claims, Makhachev’s coach wholeheartedly disagrees, explaining that drug test failures have an unlimited impact on a fighter’s legacy.

On an episode of the Javier Mendez Podcast, he said: “Dana continues to be insisting that Jon Jones is pound-for-pound No. 1. He has his valid points, but my valid point is I just say one thing: Lance Armstrong.

“Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France how repeatedly? And mainly he got all those titles taken away from him due to one thing: doping. And regardless that it was a few years later that they caught him, he lost all his Tour de France (titles). Well, it’s been a fact; it’s been proven Jon Jones has been caught doping. So, I’m sorry, I feel that disqualifies him just based on that alone.”

Dana White tells Jon Jones to avoid Francis Ngannou

While the UFC CEO is adamant that Jones is the best to ever set foot within the cage, he was once wary of the sportsman’s probabilities against Francis Ngannou.

Following ‘The Predator’s’ championship victory over Stipe Miocic, White sat in a press conference and addressed the stunning knockout that had just unfolded.

Impressed by what he’d seen, the businessman gave Ngannou enormous credit.

He also issued a stark warning to ‘Bones’.
