Javier Mendez coach Islam Makhachev explained why Jon Jones should not be first in the UFC rankings without a weight class division.
Islam Makhachev is ranked first in the pound-for-pound rankings. According to many experts and MMA supporters, this is a well-deserved position. Of a different opinion is Dana White director of the UFC organization, who believes that the body that determines the ranking is wrong. The head of the best MMA league in the world makes things clear in his opinion the first should be Jon Jones.
The topic of P4P ranking was once again addressed by Javier Mendez, the head coach of the American Kickboxing Academy. Mendez is responsible for training Islam Makhachev when he is in the US. Coach Mendez spoke on the aforementioned ranking.
Makhachev’s coach explained why Jon Jones should not be ranked number one. According to coach Javier Mendez, the main reason why the heavyweight division champion does not deserve to be at the top is his very low activity.
– I always say this and ask, how many fights in the last four years has Jon Jones fought? If the answer is six or seven, then ok, but he has fought twice in that time. You have to fight more to be at the top of this list. If Jones had been a more active fighter, it would be a different conversation, and so I put Islam first.
