I think jones is the best fighter in the world right now but the thing is he isn't as big of a star as he should be for example if someone has never seen mma wouldn't know who he was. An athlete of his caliber should be bringing in more fans and having better pay per view numbers.
sure he's beaten everybody that has been in the cage with him ( not including dq) but he isn't being marketed as he should be the thing about. gsp even though I didn't like his style but whenever he had an upcoming fight the promo commercials would have you wanting to see what would happen in the fight which is why he had good ppv numbers.
Fighters like brock, anderson, gsp and rousey I feel are bigger household names then jones even though hes a dominant American champion in most historic division in mma. Even with the fans who watch mma most still consider guys like anderson, fedor, and gsp as the goat and jones is on his way there when in reality he has a stronger case then any of those 3.
In reality jones should be the person Dana should be promoting the hardest instead of Ronda as much, sure he's on the cover of the new ufc game but other then a couple bud light short appearances what other ways has he's been shown to the public?
Hes the perfect fighter skill wise great wrestling, striking, and submissions. Sure he's hated by alot of fans but so is lebron james but lebron is constantly bringing in new viewers for basketball yet jones isn't the ufc's biggest draw.
