Jon Jones
The reason why Jon Jones presents such a challenge for every fighter he faces is because he seems to have no weakness. Jones has been wrestling his entire life and uses that as the foundation of his fighting style, but there seems to be nothing he can't do.
Jones is a master on his feet, he has some of the best takedown defense we've ever seen and his Brazilian jiu-jitsu is extremely sharp. Jones can stand and bang on his feet, but he can also smother his opponent and use his wrestling and BJJ to steal all hope from whoever is on the other side of the octagon from him.
It's impossible to talk about Jones without mentioning his outside-the-octagon antics. He's failed drug tests and had run-ins with the law that have forced him to miss fights in the past. But, when he's in the right space mentally, which he seems to be now, there isn't a man on the planet that can beat Jon Jones.

Stipe Miocic
I'm not entirely sure that casual MMA fans know just how good Stipe Miocic is and has been throughout his career in the UFC. But, the firefighter from Ohio has been likely the greatest heavyweight the company has ever seen
In 2016, Miocic arrived on the scene by knocking out Fabricio Werdum to claim the heavyweight championship. What followed was wins over names like Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos and Francis Ngannou while defending his title.
Eventually, Miocic fell to Daniel Cormier, but he responded by beating DC twice in a row to avenge his loss and cement his legacy as one of the best fighters in UFC history.
Now, Jon Jones, the greatest UFC fighter of all time, stands in his way of reclaiming his heavyweight belt.
