Ben Askren Believes Not Merab Dvalishvili but Jon Jones Had the Greatest UFC Year

Despite Merab’s record-setting 2025 streak, Askren says Jones’ 2011 run remains unmatched. “He beat Bader, Machida, Rampage, and Rua. That was an insane stretch,” Askren said. Dvalishvili, who has already defeated O’Malley, Sandhagen, and Umar, will defend his bantamweight title against Petr Yan at UFC 323 in December, aiming for a historic fourth defense this year.
