Dana White has named UFC legends Royce Gracie, Amanda Nunes, Jon Jones and Chuck Liddell for his MMA Mount Rushmore.

The UFC boss was asked to name his four GOATs for his MMA Mount Rushmore.

And White wasted no time giving his first fighter as he selected UFC 1 winner Gracie. He also picked UFC women's double champion Nunes as well as UFC light-heavyweight greats Jones and Liddell.

"I mean if you talk about a Mount Rushmore, where their heads are carved in stone forever, you have to go, Royce Gracie, no brainer, you have to do that," he said on The Schmozone Podcast.

"Amanda Nunes, it has to be Amanda Nunes the greatest female fighter ever.

"The other two are tough. I would have to go with Jon Jones," he added. "The guys have never been beaten. What is more amazing about him going undefeated, which is incredibly amazing because very few people do in this sport, is the things he's done to himself outside the Octagon and he still hasn't been beat.

"The number four on Mount Rushmore, I guess you have to go with Chuck Liddell. At the point in time, he was the biggest star ever. It's almost a coin flip between Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin."

White has omitted a host of UFC legends. From Anderson Silva to Georges St-Pierre, but he acknowledged the success of both fighters.

"If you look at what Anderson Silva did for Brazil and GSP did for Canada, these guys had an impact on an entire country is very massive and very strong," he explained.
