Khabib Nurmagomedov congratulated Jon Jones on his retirement, recognizing him as the greatest in UFC history despite criticisms regarding his fight cancellations. UFC CEO Dana White confirmed Jones’ retirement after a significant event in Azerbaijan. Nurmagomedov emphasized the impact of Jones' career, acknowledging both their lack of personal friendship and the inspiration that Jones has provided to millions. Jones, who retires with a 28-1 record, became a legend in the sport, holding numerous records but also facing controversies throughout his career.
Even [though] we [were] not friends, but you are the best who ever do it in UFC history and you inspire millions of people around the world.
His lone defeat came via disqualification against Matt Hamill at the 'The Ultimate Fighter 10' finale in December 2009 due to illegal downward elbows.
