Description

Jon Jones is back. So is Francis Ngannou. And Tom Aspinall? He’s been here all along.

So with all three big men scoring pivotal wins in 2024, who is the one true king of the heavyweight division?

Is it Jones, the relative neophyte who is just 2-0 in the weight class, but still carrying the aura that comes with being undefeated throughout his career?

Is it Ngannou, the lineal heavyweight champion who left the UFC without ever dropping his belt?

Or is it Aspinall, the man who defended an interim heavyweight title while Jones sat on the sidelines waiting for a Stipe Miocic fight that lost intrigue with every passing day?

Theoretically, there’s no wrong answer, but the MMA Fighting rankings panel of Alexander K. Lee, Damon Martin, Jed Meshew, and E. Casey Leydon give their best arguments as to why each fighter has a claim to be No. 1.
