John Jones could have apologized to UFC CEO Dana White, however he would not appear to have gotten a White Home want.
Jones left the heavyweight division together with his non-commitment to a title unified match in opposition to Tom Aspinel. Aspinall was the UFC heavyweight champion since November 2023, however “Bones” continued to tease each the combat and retirement. White claimed that Jones first agreed to the combat, however walked it by retiring.
“Bones” is presently deciding to proceed the combat, and he hopes for a deliberate spot for the White Home UFC card in June 2026. The issue is that White would not really feel he can belief Jones in such a spot. Speaking to Sirius Xm’s Zach Gelb, White reveals that Jones has apologised to him and expressed curiosity within the combat on the White Home (by way of Mmajunkie).
“It wasn’t a dialog,” White mentioned. “He reaches out and says, ‘Hear, sorry that this has unfolded’,” and extra, “I wish to combat within the White Home. I wish to be critical about it.”
The UFC boss has not denied an apology, however he nonetheless questions the credibility of a future Corridor of Fame.
“No, I am grateful. I am grateful that he is reaching out and doing so, however we want somebody to stay up for on this combat,” White mentioned. “And I do know who they’re, I do know who they’re.”
White additionally would not sound like his mistrust in “bone.” He talked about previous incidents set for an enormous combat simply to permit “dangerous issues” to occur when Jones is “crunch time.”
I do know if White will change his thoughts about ultimately that includes Jones on historic playing cards, however for now it isn’t.
