The main
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> promoter is doing a bit of
\npromoting ahead of the upcoming tentpole event.<\/p>\n

UFC President and CEO Dana White has often stated that he feels
\nJon
\nJones<\/a> is the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. He has
\nstuck to that notion so strongly that he has tried on multiple
\noccasions to get Jones\u2019 disqualification loss to Matt Hamill<\/a>
\noverturned to a no contest. His reasoning is that Jones should have
\nfinished the fight before the illegal strikes landed, and that
\nreferee Steve Mazzagatti failed to intervene when he should have
\nstepped in. The argument was also made that since 12-to-6 elbows
\nhave been legalized, past fights ending via those strikes should be
\nchanged ex post facto.<\/p>\n

The top spot on White\u2019s MMA all-timer pedestal may be changing
\ndepending on upcoming events, according to him in an interview with
\nForbes<\/a> on Friday.
\nThe organizer went on to declare that should Alex
\nPereira<\/a> beat Ciryl Gane<\/a>
\nto claim the interim heavyweight belt on June 14’s
\nUFC White House<\/a> card, he will have done something no one in the
\nUFC has accomplished: win a title in three separate divisions. This
\nkind of achievement, according to White, is one that could make
\n\u201cPoatan\u201d the greatest fighter to have stepped in a cage.<\/p>\n

Greatest of all time<\/h2>\n

\u201cYou got Pereira possibly winning his third world title,\u201d White
\nexpressed with excitement. \u201cIf he wins the third world title that
\nnight, he jumps over Jon Jones<\/a> and
\nbecomes the greatest of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPoatan\u201d already achieved history by shattering the record for the
\nfewest UFC bouts to win not one but two titles. Pereira picked up
\nhis first from Israel
\nAdesanya<\/a> at 185 pounds, dropped it in the rematch and moved up
\nto light heavyweight to punch out Jiri
\nProchazka<\/a> and claim that throne as well. He has since vacated
\nthat strap to move up to the largest weight class to try to become
\na champ there.<\/p>\n
