Jon While Dana White recently claimed that Jones was Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHey everyone, I wanted to address Dana White\u2019s comments from this \u201cYes, I have arthritis in my hip and it\u2019s painful, but that doesn\u2019t Before the event was announced, it was rumored that Jones would \u201cI understand business deals fall through sometimes, but going out \u201cIf the UFC truly feels like I\u2019m done, then I respectfully ask to After talks for a title unification bout against Tom Hey everyone, I wanted to address Dana
\nJones<\/a> has a different perspective on why he was excluded from
\nthe
\nUFC White House<\/a> card.<\/p>\n
\nnever seriously considered<\/a> for the June 14 event, \u201cBones\u201d
\ninsists that he and his team were in \u201creal negotiations\u201d to compete
\nat the event. Ultimately, the former
\nUFC<\/a> two-division champion claims that the promotion came
\nthrough with an offer that significantly lower than he wanted.<\/p>\n
\npast weekend, because the truth matters to me and the fans,\u201d Jones
\nwrote on X. \u201cDana, you were heated about why I\u2019m not on the White
\nHouse card, but let\u2019s clear something up. My team and I were
\nactually negotiating with the UFC for that fight. Real
\nnegotiations. I even came down from my original number, and what
\nwas I offered in return? I was lowballed.<\/p>\n
\nmean I can\u2019t fight. So let me get this straight, if I had accepted
\nthe lowball offer, suddenly my hip would be fine and I\u2019d be on the
\nWhite House card? That doesn\u2019t make sense. I even received stem
\ncell treatment last week to get ready for the White House card, and
\ntraining camp was scheduled to start today. I was preparing to be
\nready.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2018No More Games\u2019<\/h2>\n
\nface Alex
\nPereira<\/a> on the card. Instead, \u201cPoatan\u201d will square off against
\nCiryl
\nGane<\/a> for the interim heavyweight crown in the UFC White House
\nco-main event. As a result, Jones is requesting to be released from
\nhis UFC contract.<\/p>\n
\npublicly and saying things that aren\u2019t true isn\u2019t right,\u201d Jones
\nsaid. \u201cAfter everything I\u2019ve given to the UFC , the years, the
\ntitle defenses, the fights, hearing that I\u2019m \u2018done\u2019 is
\ndisappointing. Especially when as recently as Friday UFC was
\ncalling me trying to get me on that White House card for a much
\nlower number.<\/p>\n
\nbe released from my contract today. No more spins, no more games.
\nThank you to the real fans who know what\u2019s up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAspinall<\/a> fell through, Jones briefly retired last June, only to
\nreturn to the UFC\u2019s drug testing pool when plans for the White
\nHouse card were revealed. \u201cBones\u201d hasn\u2019t competed since defending
\nthe heavyweight belt with a third-round stoppage of Stipe
\nMiocic<\/a> at UFC 309 in November 2024.<\/p>\n\n
\nWhite\u2019s comments from this past weekend, because the truth matters
\nto me and the fans.
Dana, you were heated about why I\u2019m not on the White House card,
\nbut let\u2019s clear something up. My team and I were actually
\nnegotiating with the UFC for\u2026<\/p>\n
