He walked away from the UFC after recording his 29th professional MMA victory and requested the No.1 spot in the UFC pound-for-pound rankings.
"There is only one thing I want from UFC, to put me as No 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world because I deserve it," he said inside the Octagon following his win.
But current No.1 pound-for-pound fighter Jones refutes Nurmagomedov's request.
On Twitter, he wrote: "Until I take that heavily crown, I grant you the spot. Enjoy Champ."

'Bones' vacated his UFC light-heavyweight title and announced his move to the heavyweight division earlier this year.
He hasn't fought since his controversial points victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in February.
But Jones, who hasn't tasted defeat since his DQ loss to Matt Hamill in 2009, has teased a fight announcement.
"Stay Tuned," he replied when a fan asked him about his next fight.
