Jon Jones has expressed his disappointment in Dana White following current allegations following the announcement of UFC Freedom 250.
The Freedom 250 card was revealed throughout Saturday’s UFC 326 broadcast. The headliner would be the undisputed light-weight title combat between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. An interim UFC heavyweight title bout between Alex Pereira and Cyril Gane will co-headline the White Home occasion.
Followers observed that Jones was not on this card, and White addressed it through the UFC 326 post-fight press convention. The UFC boss claimed that ‘Bones’ was not thought of for the Freedom 250.
Mr. Jones accessed his X account and responded to Mr. White with a sequence of now-deleted tweets, however he was not glad with what Mr. White had stated.
“So this entire negotiation was full bullshit? Is that what you need me to comply with in public? Oh my god, that fucking hurts,” Jones wrote. “I’m mendacity in mattress, wrapping my head round this realization.”
White advised reporters that he believes Jones wants a hip alternative and might be executed along with his bounty looking (h/t MMAJunkie).
“By no means, by no means, by no means, I’ve advised you 100,000 instances, it was by no means behind my thoughts that Jon Jones would combat within the White Home,” White advised Combined Martial Arts Junkie and different reporters backstage after UFC 326.
At a subsequent press convention, Mr. White made one other allegation that he had advised Mr. Jones’ legal professionals that the Freedom 250 card slot had by no means been thought of.
“The Jon Jones case is bullshit,” White stated. “I am not saying they weren’t speaking to Jon Jones or that Jon Jones wasn’t within the combat. What was even crazier was that after I had already despatched a message to his lawyer saying, ‘That is by no means going to occur,’ Jon Jones got here out and was like, ‘We’re negotiating for a White Home card proper now.’
