See White’s Answers Below:
Best fighter to never win a title: Probably [Donald] “Cowboy” Cerrone
Who wins in a street fight, Jon Jones or Francis Ngannou: Jon Jones. Jon Jones is the greatest ever. And I think Jon Jones is even scarier on the street. He tries hard to be nice.
Who’s the one fighter you’d never want to get mad at you: Most of them. Every one of these fighters will murder you.
Most exciting weight class right now: I’d say 155 right now.
Hardest hitter right now: Maybe Ilia Topuria
Most underrated fighter of all time: Maybe Michael Bisping. I don’t think Michael Bisping gets enough credit for how good and tough [he was]. He lost his eye and lied so he wouldn’t have to stop fighting. Michael Bisping’s a bad dude
Which fight still gives you chills: It would have to be Tyson’s fight. It’s not even the fight – Tyson’s walkout when he fought Francois Botha.
One fighter that changed the UFC forever: Conor McGregor.
