While Jon Jones is generally considered the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, Mike Tyson consistently takes the title of the most dangerous boxer of all time.
Jon Jones and Mike Tyson fight in different eras and in two different sports, are usually not brought together.
Despite that, UFC CEO, Dana White has forever beaten the drum on Jones as the greatest MMA hunter of all time and has always been a huge admirer of 'Iron Mike'.
In anticipation of Tyson's controversial comeback to boxing against Jake Paul last November, the UFC boss never chopped his words and explained how he was hopeful for a devastating victory for Tyson.

Dana White on whom he would rather fight from Jon Jones and Mike Tyson
After his extremely decorated boxing career, Tyson is generally labeled as the most dangerous and mean boxer of all time, who still holds the record for the youngest heavyweight champion ever.
Likewise, Jones is generally regarded as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, given his legendary run of beating people like Rampage Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Daniel Cormier and much more.
Although both are big in their respective sports, White was asked in a recent interview, who he would rather have to fight in their prime.
White has always been a big fan of boxing and before he became president of the UFC, he participated in boxing at a decent level and hoped to make it a career.
“Jon Jones is still the best ever,” he started explaining in an interview on Talksport MMA.
“(I had chosen Peak all day) Jon Jones and I am the biggest Mike Tyson fan of all time. Oh, with whom I would (want to get in the ring), I don't want to get in with one of them, I am 55 years old.
“The answer is neither, I don't get any of them in the ring. In my bloom when I was young, you don't want to mess with one of them. Jon Jones and Mike Tyson are two of the dirtiest people ever, “he said.
Dana White comments about Tom Aspinall who predicts that he will beat Jon Jones
At the age of 37, Jones still tries to stay active in the UFC and rules the heavyweight division as a champion. Next for him, if he doesn't retire, is a fight against interim champion, Tom Aspinall.
With Jones still not sure if he wants to defend his title against Aspinall, Dana recently stated that he would strip Jones from the title if he was not fighting the interim champion.
Aspinall has remained self -confident that not only the fight will be made, but he will be the first to beat Jones legitimate.
“I think it's great that in a young, talented, aggressive heavyweight that he actually wants to fight the very best,” White commented on Aspinall's confidence.
Although no official date has been set for that title Unification Bout, White remains convinced that the promotion can get this for this year.
